This exciting retrospective styled solo art exhibition and lecture series will be at the Corvus Gallery of the stately Gordon Parks Arts Hall  at the University of Chicago's Laboratory School. 

Onli makes the Rhythmistic practice point of "Black Male Mojo" in this unique showcase of his Visual Art created from 1994 until the Summer of 2021. 

This production is Onli's homage to the namesake of the stately Parks Arts Hall which is named after the legendary Film Maker and Photographer, Gordon Parks.  

Onli, like Parks spent critical early career growth and practice at the National Treasure designated South Side Community Art Center and both later freelanced for Playboy Magazine and Johnson Publishing when both publications were the top of the magazine supply-chain in status, pay scale,  design, editorial respect and social impact.

Parks was a celebrated pioneering Photo-journalist while Onli was an innovative major-market illustrator. A nexus of Black Male mentoring or scaffolding. Talk about Black Male Mojo!!

Selected works from various thematic collections illustrate how Onli has expressed his artistic life as winning the peace.  

Dr. Onli thinks of it as, "being free from the need to be free", has facilitated his 5 decades long Visual Arts practice.


Below is a studio pix of "NOG Emerges", Oils on wood, circa June 2021. This new Rhythmistic art werx is included in this micro-retrospective solo semi-private exhibition.  Collectors will note that each unique art work in this showcase is for sale to the right situation!
