The artwork “The Electric State” by Simon Stalenhag, created in 2017, is a digital illustration belonging to the series titled “The Electric State.” It exemplifies the digital art movement and portrays a scene imbued with a unique blend of science fiction and surrealism.
The artwork depicts a large spherical structure towering over a winding road, surrounded by a cold, snow-dusted landscape. The structure, marked with the logo “SENTRÉ” and adorned with an image of a person in a red outfit, dominates the somber and misty scenery. A network of cables extends from the sphere, while a solitary car travels along the desolate highway. The encircling forest and the mountainous backdrop contribute to the eerie, post-apocalyptic atmosphere that Simon Stalenhag masterfully crafts in this evocative piece.
