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 is interested in landscape as aftermath, and his paintings, often of scenes glimpsed in transit, inhabit a space between the lived, the remembered and the imagined. He cites the German artist Thomas Demand and his, “constructed realities” as a formative influence on his practise.
He has had paintings selected for group exhibitions including The 2025 ING Discerning Eye Exhibition, where he was awarded the North of Ireland Regional Award, and the 2025 Outside In National Exhibition. His paintings are available in Framewerk Gallery, Belfast and Yard Gallery, Holywood.
