A shimmering work that incorporates nearly the entire color spectrum, "Taurus" expemplifies Lapinski’s explorative process and his fascination with mathematical imagery. His great love was experimental lithography, of which he commented: "My art is manual plate lithography, using a light gum etch introduced to a sensitized metal plate." He developed a particular method of split-color printmaking that lent his works a "rainbow" effect (a style of printmaking now known in Polish as "rainbow prints"), an innovation that inspired many of his students.
