In 2012, the New York publication Farameh named him one of the fifty best contemporary artists, inspired by American traditional 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 warmly congratulated Karl on his impressive two-meter bronze sculpture One Dollar, exhibited at the Grand Palais.\n\nKarl's artistic journey began at age 7 with collages, prompted by his encounter 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 blending paintings, sculptures, and video elements at Espace Pierre Cardin.\n\nKarl particularly enjoys unveiling his works at international exhibitions. In 2011, he was represented by Bel Air Fine Art gallery 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 Artco France gallery. His 2016 solo show at Atrium Gallery in Marbella, Spain, was inaugurated by the mayor, who praised his work before the international press.\n\nIn 2010, he was chosen to represent Deauville at the Horsemania World Championship in Lexington, where he created a horse sculpture for the event. In 2012, he offered Deauville his Cryptogram One sculpture, a symbolic bronze of peace and love, located at the city 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.\nThe artist gained prominence in 2009 with his "One Dollar" sculptures, which earned him a ranking by Artprice among the world's top ten sculptors under 30.\n\nIn 2017, he was selected to design the trophies for the 43rd American Film Festival. Drawing inspiration from "Cryptogram One," he created a polished-aluminum trophy with a mirror finish, bearing 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 an emblematic Deauville symbol: the drawing of the barriers that separate the cabines on the Boardwalk.\n\nIn 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 statue of Jesus 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 "7e Art" on the trophies.\n\nKarl Lagasse exhibitions:\n- 2016: Art Fair Paris, Exhibition - Atrium Gallery, Marbella (Spain)\n- 2015: Art Paris - Michel Vidal Gallery\n- 2014: Art Fair Paris\n- 2012: Exhibition - ARTCO FRANCE Gallery, Paris, Saint Germain-des-Prés\n- 2012: Sculpture Cryptogram One offered to Deauville\n- 2012: Sculpture for the 65th Cannes Festival\n- 2011: Exhibitions at Art Zurich (Switzerland) and Art Elysées (Italy)\n- 2010: Sculpture for Horsemania Lexington (USA)\n- 2009: Exhibitions at Arty Gallery (Saint-Tropez), Opus Gallery (Aix-en-Provence), and Art Elysées fair (Paris)\n- 2008: Exclusive exhibition at Espace Cardin (Paris)\n- 2007: Permanent exhibition - Opera Gallery (Paris, London, Miami, Singapore, etc.)\n- 2006: Exhibition - Galerie Pascal Polar (Brussels)\n- 2005: Exhibition - Galerie Isy Brachot (Brussels)\n- 2004: Exhibition - Galerie Work Shop (Deauville)\n- 2003: Exhibition - Galerie Evertart (Paris)\n\nKarl Lagasse continues to innovate and inspire through his art, leaving a significant mark in the world of contemporary art.
