KINTSUGI 2018

KINTSUGI

Biennale of Australian Art (BOAA)
Solo exhibition at Ballarat Welcome Centre, 145 Victoria Street, Ballarat
21 September - 6 November 2018

Danish Quapoor’s fifth solo exhibition examines literally & metaphorically the golden repair of broken items. The Japanese ceramic process of kintsugi implies that what has been broken can be repaired whilst imbuing a complete history (including cracks and renewed strength) into the aesthetic, physicality and understanding of an object or person.

This exhibition is therefore also intended as a cathartic process for the artist. Quapoor’s works examine, re-contextualise and resolve adversities from his personal history. The individual and collective narratives include ongoing explorations of relationships, solitude, corporeality, morality, sexuality & religion.
