AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Sagrasse (Sandro Grassetti, born in 1966) is a Marche-born artist whose life is rooted in artisanal craftsmanship. For forty years he worked in the shadow of his workshop in a small town among the hills of Marche, specializing at the highest levels in resin processing, varnishing, and chroming.
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 technique of excellence 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.

Title - Banana Matrix
Hand-signed 2022
Technique: resin and marble dust
Dimensions: 26x26x6
Condition: new.
Certificate of authenticity - hand-signed.
Edition: limited edition 999ex - yellow and silver

The artwork will be carefully packaged and shipped by courier with tracking.
In recent years his work has earned important public and private recognitions, culminating in participation in prestigious exhibitions. Notable among these are his presence at the Contemporary Art Exhibition “Arte Venezia” in 2025, the collaboration with the VERUM Center for Art and Culture, and the inclusion of his works in the renowned Fuser Private Collection. From craftsman to a hallmark of the Neo-Pop scene, Sagrasse shows how a lifetime’s experience can be transformed 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 to the service of imagination. His works are colorful mirrors in which our society is reflected: pop, brilliant, ironic, and irresistibly modern.
Sagrasse’s work fits perfectly in the tradition 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.

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 entirely manual workmanship.
Do not expose to heat sources; clean without detergents, but only with a soft cloth.

Sculpture by the Italian artist Sagrasse.
The sculpture will be carefully packaged and shipped by courier with tracking.

Born in 1966 in Macerata, Marche, in the resin sector for more than 30 years, after choosing to devote himself to his passion, sculpture has found responses worldwide with several private exhibitions and dedicated villas.
In his works he addresses contemporary themes and important issues such as ecology and social ideologies.
