Sagrasse (1966) - Tomato Splat

Sagrasse (Sandro Grassetti, born in 1966) is a Marche-born artist whose life roots itself in artisanal mastery. For forty years he has worked in the shadows of his workshop in a small town among the hills of Marche, specializing at the highest levels in resin work, painting, 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 has always guarded. What for decades had been "only" a technique of excellence thus becomes the means to give life to modern pop sculptures, vibrant and ironic. Today Sagrasse has transformed his artisanal 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 them are appearances 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 within the renowned Private Collection Fuser. From artisan to a signature in the Neo-Pop landscape, Sagrasse demonstrates how a life’s experience can transform into pure, recognized artistic expression.

Sagrasse is not merely an artist who uses resin; he is a master craftsman who has liberated the technique from its functional constraint, 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 within the path of New Pop Art and Urban Art. If 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 light, Sagrasse’s universe closely dialogues with other giants of the international scene such as Jeff Koons, KAWS, Takashi Murakami, Mr. Brainwash, and Richard Orlinski.
