Collection: Mark Stubbs

Artist Mark Stubbs Original Paintings:-

Dr Mark Stubbs Artist At The Acorn Gallery, Pocklington

Dr Mark Stubbs — known in the art world as SwagandBallyhoo Fine Art — is a man of many callings, and his paintings reflect every one of them. A practicing GP, a proud RAF veteran, and an expedition medic who has travelled to some of the world’s most remote regions, Mark brings a rare depth of life experience to his art.

Each piece carries an undercurrent of adventure, compassion, and curiosity — the very qualities that have guided his journey through both medicine and creativity. 

His work is instantly recognisable for its bold, contemporary energy, where graffiti-style expression meets fine detailing. Gold leaf accents and layered textures weave together stories of contrasts — order and chaos, tradition and modernity, science and soul. Whether he’s painting a classic subject with a rebellious twist or exploring themes of humanity and connection, Mark’s art captures the tension between discipline and freedom that defines his life. 

Beyond the canvas, Mark’s sense of purpose extends far beyond the studio. His medical missions in Africa and his on going commitment to helping others are a testament to his compassion and drive to make a difference. This humanitarian spirit runs through his artwork — every brushstroke seems to echo a respect for life, resilience, and beauty in imperfection.

Owning a piece by Mark Stubbs isn’t just about collecting contemporary art; it’s about connecting to a story of service, adventure, and creativity without limits. His paintings speak to those who value authenticity — people who, like Mark himself, understand that the richest lives are the ones lived with both heart and courage.
