About
Danish Quapoor is an interdisciplinary visual artist and curator based in Gurambilbarra / Townsville, Queensland, Australia. His innovative practice (which spans mediums including textiles, ceramics and illustrative paintings) is typically unified by conceptual layers, repetitive processes and a flat-colour style in which anthropomorphised or biomorphic forms float within sparse compositions. Quapoor’s works often explore identity, memory, and increasingly, socio-political commentary.
The artist was the winner of the Percival Photographic Portrait Prize (2024) and was recently shortlisted as a finalist for the Queensland Regional Art Awards (2025 textile category), the Gosford Art Prize and the North Queensland Ceramics Awards (2024). He was the inaugural School of Creative Arts Alumni Fellow (University of Southern Queensland / UniSQ, 2023), and holds a Master of Arts and Cultural Management (University of Melbourne), alongside Bachelor degrees in Visual Arts (2009) and Creative Arts (Honours, 2010) (both UniSQ). In his 15+ years of professional practice, Quapoor has achieved numerous grants, residencies and projects, and participated in over 100 exhibitions, including 17 solo and 8 collaborative exhibitions. He has works held in the Townsville and Toowoomba City Art Collections. He has had work, reviews and writing published in Art Guide, the Journal of Australian Ceramics, ArtsHub, Artlink, Imprint and Lemonade Letters.
