The Pink Floyd Lighting Designer's Art
Marc Brickman spent close to five decades designing the lighting for some of the biggest tours in rock history, and if you've ever stood in a crowd watching Pink Floyd's lasers cut through the dark, you've felt his work without knowing his name. He didn't just point lights at a stage. He built entire emotional arcs out of beams, color, and timing — visuals so tied to the music that longtime fans still talk about specific laser moments decades later. Now that same eye has moved off the rig and onto canvas, in the Pink Floyd & David Gilmour Inspired Canvas Art Prints Collection, giving fans a way to own a piece of that history that isn't a photo of the stage.
Not a Photo. A Feeling.
Here's what sets this collection apart from typical band merchandise: none of it depicts an actual concert. There's no photo of Gilmour under a spotlight, no reproduction of an album sleeve. Brickman paints from memory and instinct, translating the movement of light and the charge of a live crowd into abstract composition. What you're looking at isn't a record of what happened on stage — it's what it felt like to be there.
That distinction matters if you're deciding whether this is worth collecting. A concert photo is documentation. Brickman's paintings are interpretations, made by the one person who was standing at the lighting board, shaping the actual experience in real time.
Marc Brickman The Jungle Canvas Art Print – Pink Floyd Inspired Concert Light Wall Art
The standout piece in the collection right now is The Jungle. The design draws on the kind of laser work Brickman built into Pink Floyd's shows — including, by the artist's account, elements tied to the band's performances of Comfortably Numb, one of the moments longtime crew members still single out for its laser intensity. Whether or not this exact piece maps to that one specific night, the visual language is unmistakably his: red, yellow, and green beams cutting hard across black, with blue brushwork moving through the composition like light catching smoke. It doesn't try to show you the stage. It tries to put you back in the crowd, underneath it.
Each print measures 19" × 28" and is reproduced in full color on 100# dull cover stock — a matte, print-shop-grade paper chosen because it holds fine detail without the glare that glossier stock would throw off under normal room lighting. That matters here specifically, since so much of the piece depends on subtle color layering rather than bold single-tone shapes. Miss the detail, and you lose the effect.
It works in a music room or a home studio, sure. But it also holds its own in an office or a more traditional art collection, since it reads as abstract expressionism first and rock memorabilia second.
Why This Matters to Pink Floyd Fans Specifically
If you've followed Brickman's career at all, you know he wasn't a hired gun who showed up and flipped switches. He was, by his own collaborators' accounts, the one shaping the big picture of what a Pink Floyd show even was — architect Mark Fisher has described him as functioning more like a show director than a lighting designer during the Division Bell tour. That's the person who painted this.
So The Jungle isn't just art with a Pink Floyd theme slapped on it. It's the visual memory of someone who helped build the thing you're remembering. That's a different kind of collectible than a licensed poster — it's provenance, not just fandom.
Who This Is For
This collection isn't for everyone, and that's fine. If you want a literal photo of the band, this isn't it — go look at concert photography instead. But if you're drawn to bold contemporary abstract work, and knowing the story behind it adds weight rather than distraction, this is worth a serious look. Lifelong Floyd fans, Gilmour devotees, and people who just respond to strong color-and-motion compositions all have a reason to want this on their wall.
The Bottom Line
Marc Brickman spent his career making light tell a story on stage. The Jungle is that same instinct, permanently fixed on 100# dull cover stock instead of disappearing the moment the show ended. For collectors who want more than a poster, that's the whole appeal.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is The Jungle a photograph of an actual Pink Floyd concert?
A: No. It's an original abstract painting by Marc Brickman, inspired by the laser and lighting design he created for Pink Floyd's shows — not a photo or reproduction of a specific performance.
Q: What size is The Jungle print?
A: It's produced as a 19" × 28" digital print, reproduced in full color on 100# dull cover stock for detail and color accuracy.
Q: Who is Marc Brickman?
A: He's a lighting and production designer best known for decades of work with Pink Floyd and David Gilmour, along with credits for Paul McCartney, two Olympic opening ceremonies, and several major films.
Q: Is this print part of a numbered or limited edition?

Q: Where does the laser imagery in the painting come from?
A: It's drawn from the concert lighting Brickman designed during Pink Floyd's touring years, when laser effects were a signature part of the band's live shows.

Q: How is this different from typical Pink Floyd merchandise?
A: Most band merchandise reproduces existing photos or logos. This is original artwork made by someone who helped create the actual visual experience of the shows, not licensed imagery applied to a product.
