Karl Lagasse, a renowned artist, gained notoriety in 2009 with his sculptures One Dollar, ranking that same year among the ten best sculptors under 30 years old according to Artprice. In 2012, the New York publication Farameh named him as one of the fifty best contemporary artists, inspired by classic American icons, in its book FOR WHICH IT STANDS: Americana in Contemporary Art. More recently, in 2016, during the Art Paris Art Fair, the President of the French Republic warmly congratulated Karl for his impressive 2-meter bronze sculpture, One Dollar, displayed at the Grand Palais.

Karl’s artistic journey began at age 7 with collages, prompted by his meeting with sculptor César Baldaccini. He then turned to tagging and graffiti in the Paris metro while remaining passionate about collages. Artist Yvaral Vasarely encouraged him to fuse his tags with his collages. In 2003, Karl prepared his first exhibition in Paris, which led to his first solo show in 2006 at Galerie Isy Brachot in Brussels. In 2008, he returned to Paris with an exhibition combining paintings, sculptures, and video elements at Espace Pierre Cardin.

Karl particularly enjoys unveiling his works during international exhibitions. In 2011, he was represented by Bel Air Fine Art at Art Monaco with his Cryptogram One. The following year, he presented his One Dollar works on the theme “In God We Trust” at Galerie Artco France. His 2016 solo exhibition at Atrium Gallery in Marbella, Spain, was inaugurated by the mayor, who praised his works in front of the international press.

In 2010, he was chosen to represent Deauville at the Horsemania world championship in Lexington, where he created a horse sculpture dedicated to the event. In 2012, he offered Deauville his Cryptogram One sculpture, a symbolic bronze of peace and love, located at the city’s entrance. That same year, in collaboration with Corbis, he built a monumental sculpture for the Cannes Festival, using photographs from 1945 to 2011, signed by personalities such as Alexandra Lamy and Matthew McConaughey.

The artist rose to prominence in 2009 with his “One Dollar” sculptures, which earned him a place among Artprice’s top ten sculptors under 30 worldwide.

In 2017, he was selected to design the trophies for the 43rd American Film Festival. Inspired by “Cryptogram One,” he created a trophies in polished mirror-finish aluminum casting, bearing messages such as “Hope,” “7th Art,” and “Deauville” on its four faces. For the 46th edition of the festival in 2020, Karl Lagasse received a commission to create a new trophy, inspired by a symbol iconic to Deauville: the drawing of the barriers that separate the cabines on the Planches stage.

In 2016, France Culture mentioned Karl in an article about his monumental installation, A Piece of Heaven on Earth, which combines a Maserati wrapped in white plastic and a Jesus statue surrounded by dollar-shaped sculptures, symbolizing human debt. This work was unveiled at Art Paris Art Fair 2015 in collaboration with Maserati. In 2017, he created the Deauville American Film Festival Trophy, inspired by his Cryptogram One and adding messages such as “Hope” and “7th Art.”
