ONLI STUDIOS had its first open studio at the East Bank Artists' Building.


This hot Bridgeport Art Center event was May 21st through May 23rd. The East Bank Artists were on fire! Onli sold several limited edition Rhythmistic fine art prints while entertaining questions and critical discourse with a variety of interested fine art collectors.

I moved into Studio space #44038 after Sofia Moreno moved to another space in the building. She is an amazingly talented passionate art maker. We were talking about art and she referred to my work as having "strong psychedelic properties". Then she went on to talk about her father's creative life in the seventies and how some of my images reminded her of Grace Jones, the hot beauty icon of the '70s & '80s. She even had books to back it up with. I learned so much about myself in the exchange. All while learning to appreciate her visual language.

I found her comments to be very insightful as having come of age during the Psychedelic '60s and working as an international illustrator with Playboy's OUI Magazine and MODE Avant Garde and the Paris Metro during the disco sizzlin' '70s while directing the BAG artists' guild. I was there as an active contributor and while absorbing influences that are alive in my Rhythmistic works. Nate McLin, a Chicago based art critic, often expressed that my Rhythmistic works were actually the forerunner to the current Afro-futurist movement in that I was doing the blend of stylizations to a future-primitive flavor before the new term hit. One should phone first to make appointments per studio visits.

More reason to come to the open studios the

3rd Friday of each month to check us out.
