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.

 "Recently in an interview I was asked about the trend "Afrofuturism" and the development of AI in generating visual images based on harvested images and text based prompts or inputs. I welcome them both. They give folks pathways of appreciation into the core of my decades of dedicated practice." 


"Flight" 1975 Acrylics and glitter 40" X 20". Loss to a studio fire in 2001.

IE: Rhythmism as a Future-Primitif approach to the visual arts. Since the early '70s."


"Back then orthodox Art Directors in advertising and publishing, narrow minded gallery directors and over-contolling arts educators would say folks were not ready for what I was doing or that I was ahead of my time. Followed by their position that an artist could not name a movement or genre! 

Those were the daze!"


"Femme Chat" Prismacolor pencils on 18" X 12" Vellum. Circa 1978
