Sagrasse (1966) - Sleeping balloon

THE SHIPMENT MIGHT ARRIVE AFTER SEPTEMBER 7, 2026

Sagrasse (Sandro Grassetti, born in 1966) is a Marche-born artist whose life is rooted in artisanal mastery. For forty years he worked in the shadow of his workshop in a small municipality among the hills of Marche, specializing at the highest level in resin processing, painting, and chrome finishing.
The turning point in 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 hidden. What for decades had been “only” an excellence technique thus becomes the means to give life to modern, vibrant, and ironic pop sculptures. Today Sagrasse has transformed his artisan know-how 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. Notable among these are the presence at the Contemporary Art Exhibition “Arte Venezia” in 2025, the collaboration with the Centro d'Arte e Cultura VERUM, and the inclusion of his works within the renowned Private Collection Fuser. From artisan to hallmark of the Neo-Pop scene, Sagrasse demonstrates how a lifetime of experience can be transformed into pure and recognized artistic expression.

Sagrasse is not merely an artist who uses resin; he is a master craftsman who has freed the technique from functional constraints, putting it at the service of imagination. His works are colored mirrors in which our society is reflected: pop, brilliant, ironic, and irresistibly modern.

Sagrasse’s work fits perfectly into the vein of New Pop Art and Urban Art. While the association with Banksy is evident for its 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.
