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

Karl’s artistic journey began at age 7 with collages, spurred by his meeting with sculptor César Baldaccini. He later turned to tagging and graffiti in the Paris metro while remaining passionate about collages. The 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 the Isy Brachot gallery 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 the Art Monaco fair with his creation Cryptogram One. The following year, he presented his works One Dollar under the theme "In God We Trust" at the Artco France gallery. His 2016 solo exhibition at the Atrium Gallery in Marbella, Spain, was inaugurated by the mayor, who praised his works to 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 gifted Deauville with his Cryptogram One sculpture, a symbolic bronze of peace and love, located at the city’s entrance. The 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 gained notoriety in 2009 with his sculptures "One Dollar," which earned him a ranking by Artprice among the world’s top ten sculptors under 30.

In 2017, he was selected to design trophies for the 43rd American Film Festival. Drawing from "Cryptogram One," he created a cast aluminum trophy with a polished mirror finish, featuring messages such as "Hope," "7e Art" and "Deauville" on its four faces. For the 46th edition in 2020, Karl Lagasse received a commission to create a new trophy inspired by a symbol iconic to Deauville: the drawing of the barriers dividing the cabanas on the Planches.

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 Trophy for the Deauville American Film Festival, drawing inspiration from his Cryptogram One and adding messages such as "Hope" and "7e Art" on the trophies.
