Angelica Gigus is a 1994 watercolor by Katherine R. Manisco, a contemporary_abstract work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting shows a single plant with purple stems and leaves. Three bulbs hang from the stems—two small and closed, one large and open like a fuzzy ball. In the corner, a tiny sketch of birds perches on a delicate, feathery plant. The artist focused on the plant’s strange bulbs, making them look almost alive. The watercolor keeps the colors soft but clear, with no harsh lines. Next, check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more detailed plant art.
