Statement from Volkan Baga’s art broker Mark Aronowitz

Hi everyone. What started as an exciting day celebrating the reveal of Volkan Baga's new Jace card quickly turned into a difficult situation when questions of art theft were raised online.

I want to provide some clear context: Volkan followed the exact creative brief he was assigned. In fact, he specifically checked with the art director prior to painting regarding the background swirl and overall mood, and was instructed to proceed with that exact composition.

Wizards of the Coast has since issued an official statement clarifying the matter:

"We’ve seen some of the discussion around the art of Jace, Multiverse Architect by Volkan Baga and Breach the Multiverse by Liiga Smilshkalne and wanted to make a few things clear.

First, the art direction given to Volkan was to directly reference this piece into the art. Much of the visual storytelling in Reality Fracture centers on Jace utilizing or incorporating powerful magic he has learned from events he has experienced. This was a direct, intentional call back to that moment to indicate that, in his efforts to rid the multiverse of Phyrexia, Jace had become the very thing he sought to eradicate.

Second, Volkan created this piece traditionally, from a first sketch done by hand up through the final painted version.

Finally, Magic has long created visual callbacks in its art to evoke connection through its shared multiverse. This has spurred some additional internal conversations about how we communicate those callbacks to artists who create iconic pieces, but it is very important to us to create a shared world that feels unified. This includes use of symbols, characters, and important moments throughout art.

We’ve been in contact with both artists and appreciate measured discussions around these important topics."

Creative misunderstandings happen, especially when reference material is involved, but Volkan worked entirely in good faith and with total professionalism from sketch to final oils. Thank you to everyone w…

in a set that is explicitly full of references to other cards, a card was referenced! oh no!

I've never had an opinion so low on the magic; the gathering community as I have right now. Callbacks are plagiarism and artistic choices everyone praised are now chatgpt prompts that neither the artist or the AD understood because another artist got in their feelings. You are all dumb as fuck.

It is an explicit choice to show that jace is fundamentally doing the same thing as phyrexians. But like omnath of the void looks like that as a deliberate callback to the eldrazi (in zendikar, even) and his blurb is all about feeding and hunger It is not plagiarised, this is not the one ring
