These interpretations of the amazing, Afro-Future Rhythmistic character, Malcolm-10 were created in tribute to the 20th Anniversary of the launch of the Black Age movement by its creator, Turtel Onli.
The first appearance of Malcolm-10 was in a book by the same name, published by ONLI STUDIOS. It is a serious collector's item. This one is by the Black Age great, Professor John Jennings.
Afro Futuristic visual art is born of Rhythmism! Onli's Future-Primitif works have been shown to positive acclaim with The Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago, Cool Globes, The Tubman Museum, New Museum of Contemporary Art, NY, The Krannert Museum, The DuSable Museum of Black History, The Museum of Science & Industry, Chicago Children's Museum, & The FIAP in Paris. Educators, enthusiasts, collectors, curators, collectors, & critics are.. WELCOME!
