The Show: “A Light Requires Darkness to Shine” is a tale of perseverance, expressed through sight and sound. Immerse yourself in a sensory journey of kinetic lightscapes and abstract paintings — each piece carrying the imprint of music that shaped its moment in time. An invitation to feel the struggle, move through the shift, and celebrate the radiance of growth.
The Artist: Greg “the LazerShark” Ellis is a creative technologist, stage designer, and multimedia innovator known for fusing high-power lasers, immersive visuals, and cutting-edge audio into unforgettable live experiences. Recently expanding his artistry into the world of abstract painting, Ellis explores new ways of translating sound, light, and emotion onto canvas. With musical inspiration drawn from the likes of Frank Zappa, Pink Floyd, Radiohead, Phish and Pretty Lights, as “the LazerShark,” he continues to push boundaries across mediums, crafting works that are as technically precise as they are viscerally explosive.
