Renowned artist Julian Prolman, widely known as The Great White Buffalo, is thrilled to announce the launch of his latest art collection in a special partnership with Exclusive Collections Gallery, located in the vibrant Gaslamp District of San Diego. This groundbreaking exhibition transcends traditional art displays, serving as a powerful initiative to support the transformative mission of Art for Education. “The art serves as a vehicle to secure holopods, enabling educators from around the globe to connect with marginalized communities and deliver high-quality education in areas where access is limited,” Prolman emphasizes. A portion of the proceeds from this collection will be dedicated to acquiring the technology necessary for this innovative initiative. The inaugural holopod will be installed at the Chema Vision Children's Center in Kibera, Kenya. The collection features striking punk glam screenprinted paintings that vividly portray the faces of Indigenous leaders, each piece a powerful homage to the guardians of our natural world. These artworks evoke the spirit and resilience of the natural protectors, capturing their strength and wisdom. The punk glam aesthetic infuses a contemporary edge, blending rebellious energy with reverence for tradition, creating a visually arresting narrative that honors the vital role these leaders play in safeguarding our environment. Each painting serves as a celebration of cultural heritage and environmental stewardship, inviting viewers to reflect on the deep connections between identity, nature, and activism. The collection will be on display and available for public purchase on Friday, September 12, and Saturday, September 13. Don’t miss this opportunity to support an impactful cause through the power of art.
