Sculptor. He studied at the Nottingham School of Art, winning the 1st National Scholarship in sculpture in 1906, and moving on to the Royal College of Art. In 1908 he won two further scholarships, including the Royal College’s travelling scholarship. He exhibited at the Royal Academy from 1909 to 1944. A number of his exhibits were imaginary subject pieces, taking the form of garden sculptures or statuettes. In 1910 he was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of British Sculptors. Doman worked as an assistant to the architectural sculptor Albert Hemstock Hodge, and after the older sculptor’s death in 1919, executed work which Hodge had conceived for the architect Edwin Cooper’s Port of London Authority Building. This led on to further work for Cooper, mostly in the City of London. However Doman’s most ambitious work as an architectural sculptor was the frieze representing Britannia with the Wealth of East and West, carried out in collaboration with T.J. Clapperton for the attic parapet of Liberty’s shop in Regent Street (1924), for the architects E.T. and E.S. Hall.
