Jo Ann Callis Forbidden Pleasures Archival Pigment Prints

$3,000

Forbidden Pleasures is a 1994 photographic series by Jo Ann Callis that was reproduced in 2019 with archival pigment prints. This series explores themes of sensuality, desire, and domesticity through surreal, highly stylized still lifes. Featuring desserts, fabrics, and everyday objects, the images evoke eroticism through texture, lighting, and suggestion rather than explicit content. Callis transforms the familiar into the uncanny, blurring boundaries between pleasure and discomfort. The archival pigment process enhances the tactile and visual richness of the work, reinforcing its intimate, provocative tone.
