Earlier this summer, we had the privilege of hosting Scott Ogden at a Praxis Roundtable -- a weekly Zoom call where Praxis students meet and interact with influential collectors, curators and gallerists.
Here are some highlights from that Roundtable:
- Video Clip 1: Why does he specialize in under-known artists? He is discussing the inspiration behind the gallery. He mentions how it was initially motivated by self-taught artists who produced highly original art that was visually striking. He emphasizes the excitement of encountering something new and the importance of trusting his instincts when he feels a strong connection to
an artist’s work. This gut feeling guides him in deciding which artists to collaborate with and showcase in the gallery.
- Video Clip 2: How art can significantly change an artist’s life, providing an outlet that can lead to a new path, even for those who may not initially see themselves as artists. He references Hawkins Bolden as an example, noting
how his work is now recognized and collected by institutions, demonstrating the broad and impactful nature of art.
- Video Clip 3: Discover the process of introducing artists to collectors. He enjoys writing press releases and creating compelling narratives about the artists and their work. But how does he balance highlighting the artist’s story with
letting the artwork speak for itself? For outsider art, while the narratives are fascinating, the artwork must be visually compelling to truly resonate with the audience.
Summary: Scott Ogden owns a great gallery that is looking for unknown artists of all ages. Would you like to meet him?
