Sagrasse (1966) - Banana matrix

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 shadows of his workshop in a small municipality among the hills of Marche, mastering at the highest levels the processing of resin, varnishing, and chrome plating. The turning point of his life comes with the COVID-19 pandemic: the forced lockdown and suspension of time become an emotional catalyst, pushing him to unleash the artistic urgency he had always sheltered. What for decades had been “only” a mastery technique thus becomes the means to give life to modern pop sculptures, vibrant and ironic. 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. Title - Banana matrix Technique: resin Dimensions: 26x26x6 cm Condition: new. Certificate of authenticity - handwritten signature. Edition: limited edition 999ex - blue/gold The work 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 art shows. Among these are the presence at the Contemporary Art Show “Arte Venezia” in 2025, the collaboration with the VERUM Center for Art and Culture, and the inclusion of his works in the renowned private collection of Fuser. From craftsman to a hallmark of the Neo-Pop scene, Sagrasse demonstrates how a lifetime’s experience can transform 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 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 sits perfectly within the track of New Pop Art and Urban Art. While the association with Banksy is evident for its strong satirical charge, irony, and 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 handmade work, conceived and produced entirely in Italy. The small imperfections that may be found are the natural characteristic of completely manual craftsmanship. It is recommended not to expose to heat sources; clean with a soft cloth only, not with detergents.
