“The Electric State,” created by the artist Simon Stalenhag in 2017, is a piece categorized under the art movement of Digital Art. This illustration belongs to an artwork series also named “The Electric State.”
The artwork captures a somber, dystopian scene featuring a large spherical structure, prominently marked with the logo “SENTRÉ,” and adorned with the mural of a person in a cloak or hat, alongside flying birds. Situated against a backdrop of rolling hills and evergreen trees, the structure emits smoke into a moody, overcast sky. A lonely road, wet from recent rainfall, curves through the foreground, leading a solitary vehicle away from the mysterious apparatus. The composition, marked by its use of cool, muted colors, evokes a sense of isolation and technological abandonment, reflecting the contemplative tone of the broader series.
