Mark Geddis is an Artist based in Comber, Northern Ireland. Born in Newtownards in 1986, he studied Fine & Applied Art at the University of Ulster, specialising in Lens-Based Art and graduating in 2009. Although not initially pursuing a career in the Arts he began to re-engage with his practise in 2017 due to the increasing restrictions of a long term chronic health condition.

Drawn to the overlooked and the left behind, he uses the urban landscape to explore themes of marginalisation and isolation, and the tension between what has value and what has worth in society.

He has had paintings selected for group shows including The 2024 Royal Arcade Academy Exhibition and the 2025 Outside In National Exhibition. His paintings are available in Framewerk Gallery Belfast and Yard Gallery, Holywood.
