The artwork entitled “Fjarrhandske” by Simon Stålenhag, created in 2014, is a digital illustration that belongs to the art series “Tales from the Loop”. This piece exemplifies the digital art movement and provides a glimpse into a narrative-driven composition.
The artwork depicts a rural scene with two young boys standing in a grassy field. They are observed interacting with a futuristic robotic machine in the foreground, which is characterized by its orange and white color scheme and mechanical appendages. In the background, a police vehicle is visible, set against a backdrop of dense forests, lending an air of intrigue and tension to the composition. The children appear curious and unafraid, contrasting the presence of advanced technology within a bucolic setting. The artwork masterfully blends elements of the ordinary and extraordinary, characteristic of Stålenhag’s unique illustrative style.
