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, particularly in the urban landscape, he is interested in the phrase “Liminal-Space” and the implication that there can exist some space or experience which is not liminal, which is not always transient or on the cusp.
He has had paintings selected for group exhibitions including The 2025 ING Discerning Eye Exhibition, where he was awarded the Northern Ireland Regional Award, and the 2025 Outside In National Exhibition. His paintings are available in Framewerk Gallery, Belfast and Yard Gallery, Holywood.
