BLOWING IT is a portrait series by Oakland based artist Teppei Ando in medium of manipulated stains on clay-board. Each portrait represents the life of a character disconnected from an era in which progress happens rapidly within their lifetime yet somehow each remains distant from contributing to it. These are portraits of characters in their environment; an ocean of anxiety, despair and stress polluted by quick fixes and over stimulation. They've adapted, they socialize, they gather, and create their own caves away from the smudge culture. They're just people, in a state of existence in the dark liquid environment.
