Sagrasse (1966) - I'm Sorry Magritte

Sagrasse (Sandro Grassetti, born in 1966) is a Marche-based artist whose life roots in artisanal craftsmanship. For forty years he worked in the shadow of his workshop in a small municipality among the hills of the Marche region, specializing at the highest level in resin processing, varnishing, and electroplating. The turning point of his life comes with the COVID-19 pandemic: the forced lockdown and the suspension of time become an emotional catalyst, pushing him to unleash the artistic urgency he had always kept inside. What for decades had been “only” a skill of excellence thus becomes the means to give life to vibrant, modern, and ironic pop sculptures. Today Sagrasse has transformed his craftsmanship into a recognized language of contemporary art, proving that it is never too late to give voice to one’s most authentic talent.

In recent years his work has received important public and private recognitions, culminating in participation in prestigious exhibitions. Among these are the presence at the Contemporary Art Exhibition “Arte Venezia” in 2025, the collaboration with the Center for Art and Culture VERUM, and the inclusion of his works within the renowned Private Collection Fuser. From artisan to signatory of the Neo-Pop scene, Sagrasse proves how a life’s experience can transform into pure and recognized artistic expression. Sagrasse is not simply an artist who uses resin; he is a master craftsman who has freed the technique from the constraint of function, putting it at the service of the imagination. His works are colorful mirrors in which our society is reflected: pop, brilliant, ironic, and irresistibly modern. Sagrasse’s work fits perfectly into the path of New Pop Art and Urban Art. If the comparison to Banksy is evident due to the strong satirical charge, irony, and the ability to reinterpret everyday icons or pop culture in a critical key, Sagrasse’s universe closely dialogues with other giants of the international scene such as Jeff Koons, KAWS, Takashi Murakami, Mr. Brainwash, Richard Orlinski. The object is an exclusive Sagrasse creation. It is a handcrafted work, conceived and made entirely in Italy. The small imperfections that may be found are the natural characteristic of fully manual workmanship. It is recommended not to expose to heat sources; clean with a soft cloth only, without detergents.
