self-promotional
1. Does "simultaneously self-promotional and socially-motivated" mean "artworks that simultaneously advertise Kaye's artistic character and hinge around social issues"?

2. Does "a message of a more instructional nature" mean "an educational message"?

Context:
As I have shown, it is possible to analyse Kaye’s advertisements as if they were autonomous works of art and it is more than possible to align them with his more personal artworks in terms of approaches and sensibility. Conversely, the less personal, simultaneously self-promotional and ‘socially-motivated’ artworks seem to approach the conditions of advertising in which a message of a more instructional nature forms the keystone of the work.
