Illustrator Simon Stålenhag's visions from a technological point of view of a future

Simon Stalenhag 15

The enlightened Swede Simon Stalenhag represents an uncomfortable collision of the present and future where people like us seem to face a brave new technological reality. In his digital pictures he has terrible drones throw spears, and as people wander aimlessly in their yards, while they are totally engrossed with virtual reality headsets strapped to their heads, even facing giant extraterrestrial caterpillars.

Each snapshot are sober and enough retroapparently unrelated to the past, but suggests a provocative story with your children's favorite picture books Chris van Allsburg «The Mysteries of Harris Burdick«. Stålenhag collects many of his own illustrations in a book entitled 'Tales from the Loop«, And many of his best images are available as prints, where you can also inform yourself and find them at Tumblr.

The acclaimed artist is a conceptual designer and author of 'Ur Varselklotet' (2014). He is also best known for his highly imaginative images and stories portraying illusory science fiction phenomena in worldly hyper-realistic scandinavian landscapes.

Not only does he have unique and cinematic visuals, as Stålenhag gained a worldwide fan base, but they have also made him an outlet for the storyteller, the concept of artist and illustrator, both for the film and video game industry. Simon Stålenhag's work can be seen in films like 'Searching for Sugar Man' (2012), directed by Malik Bendjeloull, and in games like 'Ripple Dot Zero' (2013)
