Danish Quapoor is a multidisciplinary visual artist based on Gurambilbarra / Townsville. His practice includes work across textiles, illustrative painting, ceramics and photography. Quapoor’s work often subverts his conservative upbringing, interrogating identity, relationships, religion and sexuality. He typically produces flat-colour works in which stylised forms float amidst sparse compositions.

Quapoor was recently awarded the 2024 Percival Photographic Portrait Prize, and was shortlisted for the Gosford Art Prize and North Queensland Ceramics Award. In his 15 years of exhibiting, Quapoor has held diverse solo exhibitions, been a lead artist in six collaborative exhibitions, and participated in over 70 curated and group exhibitions. He was the inaugural 2023 UniSQ School of Creative Arts Alumni Fellow, and holds a Master of Arts & Cultural Management (University of Melbourne), a Bachelor of Visual Arts (BVA) and a BVA (Creative Arts), Honours (UniSQ). Quapoor has had work, reviews and writing published in the Journal of Australian Ceramics, Art Guide, Imprint and Lemonade Letters.
