About
Danish Quapoor (born 1989, Ipswich, QLD / currently based Townsville, QLD) specialises in fine-lined, stylised illustrations and paper collages. Quapoor employs wordplay, re-contextualisation and unique imagery to craft intricate and humorous vignettes that explore contradictions and shades of grey - within relationships, religion, sexuality and morality. Organic and geometric forms often float amongst flora, fauna, humanimals and humans, reflecting personal, observed and imagined experiences.
Quapoor has completed numerous solo, group and collaborative exhibitions, studio residencies and live art performances, largely in Queensland and Victoria. Quapoor creates illustrations for African Children’s Stories (Dūcere Foundation) and private commissions. He holds a Master of Arts & Cultural Management (University of Melbourne), a Bachelor of Creative Arts, Honours and a Bachelor of Visual Arts (with Distinction) (both University of Southern Queensland). Beyond these tertiary spheres, Quapoor is informed by collaborations, eavesdropping, op-shopping and pop culture.
