The artwork titled “The Electric State,” created by Simon Stålenhag in 2017, is an illustration belonging to the digital art movement. It is part of the series “The Electric State.” The artwork vividly portrays a spherical, industrial structure emblazoned with various logos and imagery, set against a wintry scene with a winding road and a car approaching the structure. This juxtaposition of rural scenery with futuristic technology creates a surreal, almost dystopian atmosphere, further enhanced by the gloomily overcast sky and the indicative traces of industrial activity. The artwork effectively combines elements of realism with science fiction, illustrating a visually rich narrative encapsulating themes of technology and desolation.
