The artwork, titled “The Electric State,” was created by Simon Stålenhag in 2017. It belongs to the Digital Art movement and falls under the genre of illustration. This piece is part of the series also named “The Electric State.” The artwork depicts a large, spherical structure connected to what appears to be an industrial apparatus, dominating a snowy, wooded landscape. The structure is adorned with a mural of a woman and the word “SENTRÉ,” juxtaposing familiar elements of contemporary advertising with the dystopian and futuristic scene. A winding road leads towards the structure, featuring a lone car, which enhances the sense of isolation and mystery in the vast, chilly setting. The muted color palette and the detailed environment evoke a sense of eerie calmness, characteristic of Stålenhag’s distinctive style.
