The Kelpies Poster Scotland by Alecse

The Kelpies Poster by Alecse — an exclusive limited collector edition of 50 signed and numbered prints celebrating one of Scotland’s most striking landmarks. Perfect for design lovers, art collectors, and anyone with a deep connection to Scotland’s culture and mythology.

Standing tall along the Forth & Clyde Canal between Falkirk and Grangemouth, the two monumental horse-head sculptures known as The Kelpies have become modern icons of Scottish art and engineering. Alecse reimagines them through his signature retro aesthetic, combining bold geometry, hand-drawn texture, and warm tones that echo classic mid-century travel posters.

Rendered in soft beige and terracotta hues with vintage halftone texture, this artwork radiates both power and mystery. The piercing red eyes of the sculptures add a mythical aura, while the graphic composition and faded pink sky evoke nostalgia and modern sophistication at once. A bold collector piece that instantly becomes the visual centerpiece of any room.

Printed in only 50 copies worldwide, each poster is hand-signed, numbered, and accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity. Once sold out, it will never be reprinted — making it a valuable collector’s item and an elegant tribute to Scotland’s legends and craftsmanship.

FUN FACTS

  • The Kelpies are the largest equine sculptures in the world, standing 30 meters high and weighing over 300 tonnes each.
  • They were designed by Scottish sculptor Andy Scott in 2013 as part of The Helix park project in Falkirk.

Alecse’s Vintage Style: blurs & grains

Alecse's Original Travel Posters are celebrated for their unique half-tone render, a signature style that plays a crucial role in their appeal and authenticity. This distinctive digital effect is intentionally used to mimic the old poster printing process, where colors were rendered by the juxtaposition of dots of different sizes and colors. This method is a nod to vintage aesthetics, giving each poster a classic, retro look that aficionados of vintage travel and retro posters appreciate.

Un vrai bonheur

En naviguant sur Internet j'ai découvert ce site par hasard. Je cherchais une affiche pour un cadeau d'anniversaire. J'ai choisi celui-ci et un autre. Je leur ai commandé un peu inquiet car c'est une chose de le voir en boutique, c'est une chose de le voir à l'écran. Il est arrivé en un temps record à mon adresse à Rome et lorsque j'ai ouvert l'emballage : il était plus beau que je ne l'aurais imaginé : les couleurs, le fini mat, les petites imperfections donnent l'impression d'avoir été dessiné à la main. J'ai alors contacté l'artiste Alecse pour me renseigner sur une future affiche personnalisée que j'aimerais offrir et j'ai apprécié son ouverture d'esprit et sa maîtrise de son art. Je recommande fortement les affiches Alecse pour un cadeau ou pour votre propre maison. très heureux!

Navigando su Internet ho scoperto questo sito per caso. Cercavo un poster per un regalo di compleanno. Ho scelto questo e un altro. Li ho ordinati un pò preoccupata perchè un conto è vederlo in negozio, un conto è vederlo allo schermo. E' arrivato in tempo record al mio indirizzo di Roma e quando ho aperto l'imballaggio: era più bello di quanto potessi immaginare: i colori, la finizione opaca, le piccole imperfezioni danno l'impressione di essere stato disegnato a mano. Ho poi contattato l'artista Alecse per avere informazioni su un futuro poster personalizzato che mi piacerebbe offrire e ho apprezzato la sua disponibilità e competenza nella sua arte. Consiglio vivamente i poster di Alecse per un regalo o per la propria casa. Contentissima!
