“The Electric State” is a digital illustration by Simon Stalenhag, created in 2017 as part of the art movement known as Digital Art. This work belongs to the genre of illustration and is part of a series titled “The Electric State.”
The artwork depicts a futuristic and somewhat dystopian scene with a large spherical structure prominently positioned in a snowy landscape. The structure features a mural-like image of a person and a corporate logo labeled “SENTRÉ.” It is adorned with various machinery and cables, suggesting a technologically advanced, yet eerie, purpose. The scene is set against a backdrop of mountains and forests, with a winding road leading into the foreground, where a solitary car moves away from the viewer, further emphasizing a sense of isolation and mystery. The overall composition combines natural elements with high-tech artifacts, creating a poignant visual narrative typical of Stalenhag’s work.
