"NOG Emerges" 2021 Copyright 2021 Turtel Onli
Inspired by "NOG" being the Future-Primitif face of the blockbuster group exhibition at the change making, trend setting Museum of Contemporary Art, Summer / Fall 2021 called "Chicago Comics: 1960 Until Now", curated by Dan Nadel. . NOG was mural sized on the MCA's outer wall near the door to its Museum Store which featured NOG merchandise in the form of a Tote Bag, post cards, a ever-cool NOG Sketch Book, plus autographed copies of "Tales From The Rhyhthmic Zone", the Graphic Novel that includes expanded versions of the original NOG stories. So Rhythmistic! All artwork on this blog by Prof. Onli is Copyright 2023 Turtel Onli , and other dates.

Prof. Onli was asked this question by a good friend in The Arts: 

"Turtel Have you seen the African Exhibition at Art Institute??
What did you think?? I have seen it twice."
These two traditional African images are links to info about the exhibition:


Prof. Onli's response:

 "It is a rare unique showcase. Everyone should see it. My more deeper views about it are why over the decades my practice has created Rhythmism and certain works derivative of Africa. The centuries of violence and criminal devastation that led to the total obliteration of entire societies. Then taking the art as proof of such........... As a student at the Art Institute of Chicago I used to visit the Museum to bond with its African art on occassion. I did such in Paris at the Musee' de l'Homme and the Lourve. Those vibes informed my creative essence on so many levels...... Caged art like caged animals........still exude their power, beauty and hope. Rhythmism is uncaged!
