The artwork titled “Things from the Flood,” created by Simon Stalenhag in 2016, is a part of the digital art movement and falls under the genre of illustration. This piece is included in the “Things from the Flood” series.
The artwork portrays a stark and somber winter landscape, dominated by a deserted, icy road that curves gently to the right. On both sides of the road, there are expansive, snow-covered fields, lending a desolate and cold atmosphere to the scene. In the middle distance, two colossal, insect-like machines lie abandoned, partially buried under snow and ice, suggesting a sense of decay and abandonment. The mechanical structures have a weathered, almost dystopian appearance, with intricate details that blend seamlessly into the wintry environment. Above, a group of birds flies across a muted gray sky, adding to the overall feeling of isolation and stark beauty. The combination of natural and technological elements in this eerie, tranquil setting exemplifies Stalenhag’s unique style, where futuristic themes converge with pastoral landscapes.
