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

Karl’s artistic journey began at age 7 with collages, spurred by his meeting with sculptor César Baldaccini. He then turned to tagging and graffiti in the Paris metro while remaining passionate about collages. The artist Yvaral Vasarely encouraged him to merge 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 especially enjoys unveiling his works at international exhibitions. In 2011, he was represented by Bel Air Fine Art at the Art Monaco fair with his Cryptogram One creation. 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 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 Film Festival, using photographs from 1945 to 2011, signed by figures such as Alexandra Lamy and Matthew McConaughey.

The artist gained notoriety in 2009 with his "One Dollar" sculptures, which led Artprice to rank him among the world’s top ten sculptors under 30.

In 2017, he was selected to design trophies for the 43rd American Film Festival. Drawing inspiration from "Cryptogram One", he created a yet-to-be-released aluminum alloy trophy with a mirrored polished finish, featuring messages such as "Hope", "7th 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 Deauville emblem: the drawing of the barriers that separate the cabanas on the Planches.

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