It is noted that Warhol did not coin the term “Pop Art”, nor did Picasso innovate the genre of “Cubism”.  Yet, here is Onli, into a 50 year long practice of Rhythmism in Fine Art, Illustrations, Wearable Art, Public Art, Education, Art Therapy and indie Graphic Novels. Dali was not the founder of “Surrealism” and Basquiat did not declare “Street Art” as a vogue. Onli, however, begat Rhythmism as a Future-Primitif approach to the visual arts.

 
Wikipedia has a page dedicated to Onli’s practices and legacy.

·       Paying the Artist directly offers you better value and insights as you are dealing with the unfiltered resources and inventory offered by the Artist. Not the filtered edited and often overvalued offerings of the gallery or art dealer’s mechanisms.

 

·       The successful pioneering of a visual arts genre is not the stuff of trendiness or fads.
