A, Danish Edition by Alpe is a hand-drawn art print where a single letter is filled with things to find. Look closely at the A and it opens up. Animals, magical beings, fruits and figures sit inside the shape of the letter, waiting for a small finger to point and a voice to ask what that one is called.
A, Danish Edition by Alpe is a hand-drawn art print by Alan Pedersen. Inside the letter A sit 21 animals, magical beings, fruits, goddesses and more, each a thing whose Danish name begins with A. It comes in six colour editions and three sizes, printed on Fine Art Freja paper (265 g), with a tree planted for every print sold.
What Hides Inside the Letter A
Inside the letter A you will find 21 animals, magical beings, fruits, goddesses and more, all drawn by hand. Because this is the Danish Edition, each one is something whose Danish name starts with A, so the print becomes a quiet game of looking and naming. There is no right pace and no test at the end. A child finds one creature today and a different one next week, and the wall keeps giving back.
The Alpe Project and Why It Begins With Play
Alpe is Alan Pedersen’s creative project for children and families, and it starts from a simple idea: curiosity and dialogue are some of the best things art can give a home. The work is made to be talked about, not just looked at. As Alan puts it, the aim is to spark curiosity, dialogue and imagination between people, especially children and their parents. If A is where the alphabet begins, E, Danish Edition by Alpe carries the same idea further along the series, a second letter holding its own small world to discover.
Six Editions, Three Sizes, One Letter
A, Danish Edition comes in six colour editions and three sizes, so it can settle into almost any room. The editions keep their Danish names: Himmelblå (sky blue), Original Streg (the original line), Rosa (pink), Lilla Sand (lilac sand), Varm jordfarve (warm earth) and Græs Grøn (grass green). Each is printed on Fine Art Freja paper (265 g), a weight chosen to carry the depth and fine detail of a hand-drawn line. The smallest size fits a reading corner. The largest holds a wall on its own.
Some prints decorate a wall. This one gives a child and a parent something to do together, a small daily ritual of pointing, naming and wondering what comes next.
A is the first letter. It is a good place to begin a conversation that can grow for years.
