A pioneer in the perceptual art movement, painter Julian Stanczak built his life around seeking answers to questions about color, light, form and the way the expression of those things affected the human eye and emotions. Over the decades, Stanczak delved deeply into studies of light waves and the effects that colors had on each other in juxtaposition. With help from his father-in-law, he built a machine to cut rolls of tape to any width so he could mask off portions of his canvases to achieve edge precision. His studio was a festival of colors mixed with great care, allowing him as much control as possible over the experience of light and feeling on the part of the viewer.

In this beautiful oil on canvas, Leo Dorn has conjured the beauty and warmth of a spring day. The vivid dabs of paint evokes the brightness of the season whilst the thick impasto recreate the lush vegetation and titular spring bouquet. There is a clear interest in light in this painting: the short, sharp brushstrokes reminds the viewer of the haze of heat and the artist has captured the light as it falls on the porch, the shadow visible on the lower right foreground. Using these Impressionist techniques, Dorn has transported the viewer to a beautiful spring garden, resplendent in the bright sunshine.
