Karl Lagasse, a renowned artist, gained fame in 2009 with his sculptures One Dollar, ranking among the ten best sculptors under 30 according to Artprice 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 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 2-meter bronze sculpture, One Dollar, exhibited at the Grand Palais. Karl’s artistic journey began at age 7 with collages, sparked by meeting 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 at international exhibitions. In 2011, he was represented by Bel Air Fine Art gallery at the Art Monaco show with his Cryptogram One creation. The following year, he presented his works One Dollar on the theme “In God We Trust” at Galerie Artco France. His solo exhibition in 2016 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 equestrian 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 figures such as Alexandra Lamy and Matthew McConaughey. The artist gained notoriety in 2009 with his sculptures “One Dollar”, which earned him a place among the world’s top ten sculptors under 30 according to Artprice. In 2017, he was selected to design the trophies for the 43rd American Film Festival. Drawing from “Cryptogram One”, he created an aluminum alloy trophy with a polished mirror finish, displaying messages such as “Hope”, “7e 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 symbolic emblem of Deauville: the drawing of the barriers separating the deck chairs 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 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 produced the Deauville American Film Festival Trophy, inspired by his work Cryptogram One and adding messages such as “Hope” and “7e Art” to the trophies.
