From Prof. Onli's  important "No Evils" exhibition / residency. "As The Sirens Sweetly Sang" depicts humanity as the steward of the Ecology as they tend to endangered sea creatures during a recent oil spill. This 30"H X 120" W oils on museum profiled canvas Rhythmistic masterwork.
These complete  Rhythmistic visual art collections come as packaged Residencies or Exhibitions perfect for Museums, Campus Life Enrichment, and  Cultural Centers. Activity Directors, Curators, Museum Directors, Academic Departments, Art Expos, Collectors and Critics will appreciate the time, rigor, and power Prof. Onli has put into each dynamic timeless body of Rhythmistic Fine Art while still being open to input to better serve your visual arts needs.
Onli is that rare visual artist whose practice includes Fine Art, Major Market Illustration, Wearable Art, Art Education and Art Therapy. It is noted that many celebrated high profile Fine Artists claim to be influenced by comics, cartoons or Graphic Novels, yet they never have worked in those areas. The notion of "High Art" versus "Low Art" was never a criterion for Onli's lifelong passion and dedication as a prolific Rhythmistic Future-Primitif Visual Artist. He coined the term "Rhythmism" in order to give a place to his and kindred artistic expressions that featured aspects of being Future-Primitif in nature, context or content. Typically these artists do not name the "ism'. For instance Picasso did not name Cubism. Van Gogh did not name Impressionism. Nor did Dali name Surrealism. For that matter Afrofuturism was not coined by Sun Ra. However Prof. Onli gives the Art World this "ism". "Rhythmism", as a Future-Primitif approach to the visual arts.
"The War For Planet NUBA" is available via our Graphic Novels tab. It comes in an archival plastic bag with our highly valued over-sized Rhythmistic Trading Cards.
