Brian Gatlin, creator of “Yakulture,” is currently a student at The Art Institute of California in Hollywood. His sculpture displays the Yakult logo enclosing the active bacteria found in every bottle, Lactobacillus casei Shirota. The bacteria migrate from the Yakult bottles towards a spherical centerpiece that represents Yakult’s vision of preventive health through a healthy digestive system along with Yakult’s mission of promoting a healthy global environment.
Brian’s experience as a Special Projects Technician for the Savannah College of Art & Design has helped him refine his passion for building and designing objects. He anticipates graduating in 2012 with a bachelor’s degree in Set & Exhibit Design. He can be reached at bgatlin24@yahoo.com.

The event, held at The Art Institute of California, introduced the students to the media.

Brian Gatlin, a personable gentleman who has a bright future, took time to explain the concept behind his design Yakulture, pictured above. “The center represents the global environment and a healthy digestive system,” said Gatlin at the event. “The concept took two days and three days to construct everything.” His display was created by using 210 bottles of the popular Yakult bottles.

Yakult, the product, has sold very well in Mexico, Europe and in Asian countries, such as China and Japan. They are making a major push to bring awareness of their fantastic product to the United States.
