Alumnus Sculpture Wins Second in Red Bull “Art of Can”

Red Bull sculptureAlumnus Kaleb Dean has been awarded 2nd place in Red Bull’s Art of Can, Chicago 2014 Exhibition, for his sculpture, “Mr. Bull, A Community Brand.”

Artists from all over the nation competed, crafting sculptures using only the parts of Red Bull energy drink cans. Dean’s work is being featured in the exhibit at Chicago’s Millennium Park, Chase Promenade South, November 7-16. He was presented with his award at the opening gala on November 7.

While a senior at Trinity in 2014, Dean, an art studio major, came up with the idea to create a bull out of Red Bull can tabs. Dean entered the piece in Trinity’s OPUS, the annual celebration of student scholarship and was awarded an honorable mention.

Dean later discovered the Red Bull art competition and entered.
