And even a person with good intention having profit as the ultimate goal will be corrupted inevitably to a certain extent; indeed, this has been reported by various artists who, after having become famous, lost the purity of intent and started to be…
Don't agree that neither is morally better. If the one working to make profit as ultimate goal is seducing the public to buy through imagery that feeds their weaknesses and keeps them in a state of satiated ignorance, how can this be moral?
When an artists is working on a commercial premise, their production is driven by their need for income. Their focus is on the product and its commercial potential, so they are developing their work for and risking it upon specific niche public mark…

Eleanor Kennelly writes for ARTnews, Art & Antiques, and Art & Auction. She served as art critic and columnist for The Washington Times.
There is a strong, playful streak in Mago�s mixed-media paintings. A swaying lobster, a bird�s eye view of traffic, a seal tossing off colorful clothing�these are carefree images made by a thoughtful artist who enjoys a sense of humor. Mago is Ely Magos. He�s a clever Austrian artist with a commanding variety of styles and interests.
Vivid yellow pigment makes a buoyant background for the funny picture Atlantis Undressed Seadog which can be read as a trained seal shedding speckled apparel in several directions. (The word seal in German is seehund, which can be translated into English, literally, as seadog.)
But it�s also a serious painting bringing together several important themes. First, it is part of the Atlantis series of paintings produced by the artist over the last few years. Atlantis is a lost paradise, first described by Plato in the 4th century BC as a continent which had sunk into the Atlantic Ocean. In Plato�s telling, Atlantis is not just a historical civilization, but a symbol of spiritual quest, especially, the quest for knowledge about the origin of the universe.
For Mago, the act of painting is a function of his spiritual quest, one which has led him around the world from New York to Finland, from Egypt and Israel to France and Ukraine.
In Atlantis Undressed Seadog, the eye is led dynamically from the central subject to radiating shapes, out and back, in order to solve the question, �What is going on here? What is this?� As human beings, we are constantly in his position: trying to make sense out of information fragments. In Mago�s piece, the title provides a narrative �hook� that gives the viewer one solution. The title is not essential, though. Between the contrasting colors yellow and gray, and the diagonal composition of shapes, the eye�s adventure is also the point.
In Jumping Whale, a tear-shaped form dominates the canvas. As a representative picture of a whale, it reduces the mammal to pure form, one step from abstraction. The painting is elegant in its simplicity. It zooms in on an aspect of whale-ness that is strange and remarkable: the ocean-living beast breathes air. It seeks a universe beyond the one it inhabits. As the artist does.
A similar piece compositionally is Atlantis Lobster. One bold shape animates the picture plane. Numerous pieces by Mago explore the relationship between form and function. For a crustacean, form is function. It�s efficient exo-skeleton allows it to survive and forage on the ocean floor.
In a pair of paintings, Forms and Colors I and New York City Traffic, we see an interesting relationship between abstraction and representation. Forms and Colors I is a lyrical study of organic shapes ...you find more ( in Google about Ely

Rebecca Stevenson-Eyes for Detail
After being astounded by her sculptures in January, we got in contact with Rebecca and met her at her studio. On arrival, we foundered over the strong perfume of these particular bouquets but Rebecca has clearly built her tolerance against resin fumes over the last 10 years. It’s taken her that long to evolve her [...]b-Loud: Jasmine Ronel: Paint with Passion
Israel-based Jasmine has created a diverse body of work incorporating photography, printing, painting and drawing, using a variety of media. The work has a graphical influence but her techniques and processes give each image a gripping tactility. The subjects are always brewed in a mass of worked textures, layers, tender colour and present emotion. Her [...]Draw then share with the world: The iPad is a new landscape for artists
The iPad brings portable potential to the artist’s toolbox. Will it plunder the ways we communicate or change how we create and share art? Twitter has proved the efficiency of miniature messaging. Maybe the iPad could jolt a new host of image based chatter. A sketchbook for a few, I doubt it. They’re being pre-ordered in America at [...]Badge
