He spent the second half of his life in New York City. Odnoralov took part in the second Russian avant-garde movement. From 1966–1979, his paintings were frequently exhibited at the Union of Moscow Artists.
His art studio was sometimes a gathering site for underground artists to plan their next collective show or to discuss one another"s work, and he was briefly detained for his role in the Bulldozer Exhibition in 1974.
A couple weeks after his release, his paintings were displayed before crowds in Izmaylovsky Park. The Komitet Gosudarstvennoy Bezopasnosti (Committee for State Security) urged his neighbors to file complaints claiming that the guests at his studio disturbed them.
