“The Electric State,” created by Simon Stalenhag in 2017, is a piece of digital artwork belonging to the genre of illustration and forms part of the series titled “The Electric State.”
The artwork portrays a surreal and haunting landscape, characterized by a desolate road winding through a snow-covered forest, with a massive, spherical structure dominating the background. The spherical structure is adorned with a painted advertisement featuring a figure wearing a hat and coat, accompanied by the logo “SENTRÉ.” The structure appears to be a decrepit remnant of advanced technology, with cables extending from it and emitting wisps of smoke into the cold, darkened sky. The composition immerses the viewer in a post-apocalyptic ambiance, combining elements of nature and abandoned technological remnants, encapsulating the poignant and evocative style of Simon Stalenhag’s illustrative digital art.
