Yngvar Larsen, Negation Sculpture, is not like Smart, 2005

This week Yngvar Larsen posted some of his bold, colourful digital prints of motorway sidings and gas stations, overlaid with handwritten sentences, some of the words scribbled out in frustration. It's almost as though the viewer's interior monologue has suddenly become visible.

Mauro de Martino, Untitled

Mauro de Martino’s paintings on wood have a raw, primeval quality that brings Basquiat's work to mind, albeit in muted, ominous tones.

Susanna Thornton, Twilight_07

Susanna Thornton's haunting photographs recall Gregory Crewdson's eerie realm in his own Twilight series, though Thornton's work is less elaborately staged. (She'd need a pretty big production budget for it.)

Amy Rice, play

I was intrigued by some of Amy Rice's creations. She seems to have taken vintage letters – some with postmarks and stamps from the 1930s – and covered them with her own designs in paint and ink. They resemble Japanese floating world prints or the scrolls of Henry Darger. What is she saying about communication, about childhood and the past?

Both images Sergio Petrelli: 27 (top); feet & reflections 6 (above)

You probably don't think about the ground beneath your feet enough. You might appreciate it a little bit more after looking at Sergio Petrelli's photographs. They're proof that the most mundane aspects of life can offer a glimpse of beauty if they're presented in a new way.

Pete Massingham, Seaview-03

Pete Massingham has been shooting houses in the US and has posted a selection. There's a hint of Bernd and Hilla Becher here: the deadpan, straight-on framing of the subjects, the total absence of human beings.
Finally, here's a work by Graham Carrick that I particularly like: it's apocalyptic but luxuriant - a very Blakean vision. Graceful and exquisitely composed, it could be a fragment of a much larger classical painting.
