Rhythmism lives in fine art and Graphic Novels. Onli was a Visiting Artist-Lecturer at the University of Illinois at Chicago's African American Culture Center. This included a solo exhibition along with a recorded lecture by Prof. Onli the day of the opening reception. Onli's exhibitions were theme based and featured titles such as "The Future of Black Art" or "No Evils".
