Sagrasse (1966) - I'm Sorry Merisi

Sagrasse (Sandro Grassetti, born in 1966) is a Marche-based artist whose life sinks its roots in artisanal craftsmanship. For forty years he worked in the shadows of his workshop in a small municipality among the hills of Marche, specializing at the highest levels in resin work, painting, 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 guarded. What for decades had been “only” an exceptional technique thus becomes the means to give birth to modern, vibrant, and ironic pop sculptures. 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 earned important public and private recognition, culminating in participation in prestigious exhibitions. Among these are notable appearances at the Contemporary Art Exhibition “Arte Venezia” in 2025, collaboration with the VERUM Art and Culture Center, and the inclusion of his works within the renowned Private Collection Fuser. From craftsman to a 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 simply an artist who uses resin; he is a master craftsman who has freed the technique from the constraint of function, placing 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 in the path of New Pop Art and Urban Art. While the comparison to Banksy is evident due to 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, and Richard Orlinski.
