Forbidden Bite – Carnal Edition - Devour Art

A cupcake in a dark red case is topped with cream swirls and glossy red syrup, and across the top sits a wide open mouth with full red lips, white teeth and two long fangs. A sugar-dusted finger of sponge is held between them and a tongue shows behind it. Syrup runs down the sides onto a gold plate, and the background is deep red curtain and warm out-of-focus light.

Built as a photographic digital composite, lit warm and retouched so the mouth and the icing share one surface. Devour Art describes the work as the disturbing pleasure of obsessive beauty. Available as a poster or fine art canvas print in multiple sizes.
