  HOUSTON, TX, Jun 19 (MARKET WIRE) -- 
Bringing a whole new energy to the campaign trail, Houston artist Sergio
Aleman Jr.'s portrait of Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama
is made entirely from recycled Red Bull cans -- in a party-appropriate
blue color scheme. The University of Houston art student's piece is one
of 47 selected to be part of the 2008 Red Bull Art of Can exhibition,
which will be on display in a unique custom-designed art space at the
Houston Galleria July 12 - 25. The annual juried Pop Art showcase
challenges both professional and amateur artists to create works made
from or inspired by the iconic Red Bull can. For more information, visit
