"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.

 There is no set formula to financial success. But Rhythmism has had impact in the way of influencing, and laying the foundation to a language and conversation that takes the Black in the artist to intellectual and imaginative levels that go beyond the limits of what most folks feel "Black" should be.


 Our 3rd Friday open studios at ONLI STUDIOS in the Bridgeport Art Center offers this heat on a monthly basis.
Chicago is the hub and template for more than just the limits of a narrowing mainstream…but that of  widening river and flow.  Rhythmism was born there by Prof. Onli in the 1970s. He is still challenging the gallery and auction communities to accept the value and legacy of this genre's growth potential.
