A positive fantasy life is the basis for a positive reality. This is what so many of ONLI STUDIOS' indie Graphic Novels promotes and expresses.
Over Onli's decades long practice he has intelligently grafted a future-primitif stylization to the process of illustration, fine art and wearable art. His term Rhythmism embraces most of what is embodied in Afrofuturism but also envelops a larger world view flowing form all cultures.
Onli took a group of his High School students from the Kenwood Academy in Chicago to Champaign-Urbana's University of Illinois' Krannert Museum to experience the "Out of Sequence" exhibition curated by Prof. John Jennings & Damian Duffy.
This unique traveling exhibition presented the vital impact of non-traditional and less commercial comic book and graphic novels related art and the artist who created these powerful works of expression.
