Afrofuturism is not limited to applications related to the sciences but also the forward thinking of idealizing aspects of Blackness or Africanisms in a context that our past may not have predicted.
Rhythmism links in a future-primitif context. Onli insists that the artist's skill set and selection of quality materials is imperative to the growth of both genres. Fans, investors, collectors, curators and critics deserve as much!
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!

"Miles Plays Miles" ( Inks on 12" X 24" cold press illustration board ) per the Future-Primitif Rhythmic Zone was done as an album cover for the legendary jazz icon Miles Davis in 1975 by Prof. Onli. He & Miles could reach positive business terms so Onli refused to allow Miles to use it. It is an early masterwork of Rhythmism. During that time Onli was gigging as a major market illustrator.
