Sagrasse (1966) - Escape

Sagrasse (Sandro Grassetti, born in 1966) is a Marche-based artist whose life is rooted in artisanal craftsmanship. For forty years he worked in the shadow of his workshop in a small municipality among the hills of Marche, specializing at the highest levels in resin processing, painting, and chrome plating.
The turning point in his life comes with the COVID-19 pandemic: the forced lockdown and suspension of time transform into an emotional catalyst, pushing him to release the artistic urgency he had always nurtured. What for decades had been “only” a technique of excellence thus becomes the means to bring to life modern, vibrant, and ironic pop sculptures. Today Sagrasse has transformed his know-how as a craftsman into a 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 art fairs. Among these are notable presence at the Contemporary Art Fair "Arte Venezia" in 2025, collaboration with the VERUM Center for Art and Culture, and inclusion of his works within the renowned private collection Fuser. From craftsman to signature of the Neo-Pop scene, Sagrasse shows how a lifetime’s experience can transform 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 its function and put it at 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 into the path of New Pop Art and Urban Art. While the comparison to Banksy is evident for its strong satirical charge, irony, and the ability to reinterpret icons of everyday life 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.
