Doug Thoms is a Canadian contemporary figurative painter and collage artist based in Victoria, BC. He was born in Belleville, Ontario, in 1965. In 1989 he received a BAA from the Ontario College of Art and Design. From 1992 until 2010, Doug worked in the animation industry as a designer, storyboard artist and director. In 2010, Doug transitioned to a full time painting practice. He creates narrative works that oscillate between reality and a deep, slippery space full of strange energy. His figures populate a realm of aggressive psychological intensity, a world of chaos and entropy, creation and collapse.
