Sagrasse (1966) - APPLE

Sagrasse (Sandro Grassetti, born in 1966) is a Marche-born artist whose life has roots in artisanal craftsmanship. For forty years he worked in the shadow of his workshop in a small municipality among the hills of Marche, mastering at the highest levels resin processing, varnishing, and chromium plating. 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 nurtured. 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 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. Sagrasse - Apple Hand-signed 2024 Technique: resin and marble powder Dimensions: 38x34x5 cm Condition: new. Certificate of authenticity - hand-signed. Edition: limited edition 299 ex - Illusion The work will be carefully packaged and shipped by courier with tracking. In recent years his work has received important public and private recognitions, culminating in participation in prestigious contemporary art shows. Notably, he has appeared at the Contemporary Art Exhibition “Arte Venezia” in 2025, collaborated with the VERUM Center for Art and Culture, and had his works included in the renowned Fuser Private Collection. From artisan to a hallmark of the Neo-Pop scene, Sagrasse shows how a lifetime of experience can become 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 colored mirrors in which our society is reflected: pop, bright, ironic, and irresistibly modern. Sagrasse’s work sits perfectly in the wake 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 an artisanal work, conceived and produced entirely in Italy. The small imperfections that may be found are the natural characteristic of entirely manual workmanship. Please avoid exposure to heat sources; clean without detergents, but only with a soft cloth.
