Abstract

This catalogue essay interrogates the work of Australian artist Danish Quapoor through his solo exhibition 'good grief', shown at Pinnacles Gallery, Townsville from 8 March - 28 April 2024.
Danish Quapoor’s new exhibition 'good grief' is a series of nostalgic visual paradoxes which serve to awaken curiosity, reveal narratives of memory, and engage with human experience broadly. Quapoor’s work invites the viewer into an uncanny world that is simultaneously familiar and unsettling. This alludes to a tension or exasperation which is just bubbling under the surface, a darkness that is not visually overt, but seems vaguely present nonetheless.
