The artwork titled “The Electric State” was created by Simon Stalenhag in 2017. This piece forms part of the digital art movement and is categorized under the genre of illustration. It is part of the series known as “The Electric State.”
The artwork presents a somber, surreal scene entrenched in a snowy, mountainous landscape. Dominating the composition is a large, spherical structure, which is adorned with a painted advertisement depicting a person in motion, along with the logo and name “SENTRÉ.” The sphere appears industrial and futuristic, complemented by an array of cables connected to it. In the foreground, a winding road leads the viewer’s gaze towards the structure, while a lone vehicle travels down this road amidst the tall trees and rugged terrain. The subdued, muted palette lends the scene an eerie and contemplative atmosphere, characteristic of Stalenhag’s evocative storytelling through digital artistry.
