 Onli is offering unique Rhythmistic Visual Art experiences for art enthusiasts and 

distinctive original artworks to the right collector. 

What say you?


"Kokoart": Approximately 50" sq. 
Pigments on unstretched archival cotton. 2020.
 One of four created during the height of the COVID Pandemic 
when Onli was a resident artist in the Chicago at the Hyde Park Art Center.
Each of the recontextualized Rhythmistic Kokopellis 
represents a different expressive art form. 
Visual Art, Music, Literature and the Performing arts. A collection of four.

Visual Art, Performing Art,
Literature, and Music.

In his context of innovative solo Rhythmistic exhibitions Onli wants art enthusiasts to think of each collection as a distinct "production". Visual Art as performance.  Paintings and Drawings as staged characters. Each work a well-honed variation on a specific theme. Visual art that is hand-crafted to show the dynamic potential of the human touch and the visual vocabulary.  

Where the creativity of one feed into the narrative qualities of the other. 

Each production is an actual visual score where Future-Primitif drawings and paintings yield an appealing cacophony of color, texture, line, and visual rhythms. United by a central theme.

This euphony of visual elements and principles is conceptualized and edited with distinguishable artistic parameters that often go beyond fading trends, and stylish tastes.  They are more in the tradition of experimental narrative art where the viewer has options for discovery and re-contextualization that transcend like or dislike.  

Stark walls become like pages, the gallery a stage, and these are its opulent illustrations.

Each of these stunning Rhythmistic visual art productions is rich in stimulating content.  

Where a work of visual art is still worth a thousand words.

 Prof. Onli doing his Rhythmistic thing in his studio.

(Click on images to enlarge for an enhanced viewing experience.) 

Expect dramatic oils on canvas, linen, and wood. These impressive narrative images are derived from his landmark 1981 limited edition Rhythmistic Graphic Novel, "NOG The Protector of the Pyramides".  Onli is using the actual illustrations in that innovative limited-edition book as source material for this exciting new NOG themed art collection.

Per 2022 Onli is projected to produce these 20 to 25 astonishing new "NOG" paintings, for a combined total of 70 newly created Rhythmistic paintings, finished by January 25th of 2023. 

These new compelling works will be Onli's methodological birthday gift to himself. They may be discreetly shared with visiting art enthusiasts, curators, collectors, and critics. These dynamic works will be held to Onli's usual standards derived from his former practice of being a major-market illustrator and an award-winning fine artist. No smaller than 18" X 24". Using archival oils on wood, linen, or canvas. Archival watercolors on acid free papers or boards. They will be divided into his emerging "NOG NUBA" series, the celebrated "No Evils" series and his coming "Tales from the Root Lady" Graphic Novel.

For Oni, this is fun!
