Karl Lagasse grew up in Deauville in Calvados, Normandy where he was educated at the Fracasse primary school and then at the André Maurois High School. Sensitive to art from a very young age, he began at the age of 7 by making collages for his mother. Some years later, Lagasse explored a new means of expression by tag graffitiing the walls of the Paris metro and discovered the spontaneity of painting, however, he did not quit the collage technique which was his first true passion.[1]

Artistic Career

Karl Lagasse's career began in 1996 with the sale of his first work in Antwerp when he was 15 years old.

A few years later, in 2003, he prepared his first exhibition in Paris where he exhibited his works that combined collages and paintings, as suggested to him by Yvaral Vasarely, son of the Hungarian visual artist Victor Vasarely, when they met in 1998.

Lagasse began sculpting in 2004 and found inspiration by watching Nuits Blanches. He then began to seek his own style and started the series "Buildings", tower sculpture works composed of different materials. The same year, Lagasse left Paris to settle in Normandy where he transformed the ground floor of his mother's house into a gallery which he called "The Workshop" (located at the time at 79, rue du Général- Leclerc in Deauville).

In 2006, Isy Brachot (a famous Brussels gallery) devoted an exhibition to Lagasse and his works.[2]

In 2008, Lagasse returned to Paris to exhibit at the Espace Pierre Cardin. Paintings, sculptures, and photographs were presented, as well as a film about the creation of the works.

In 2009, Karl Lagasse created the artwork that has brought him the most recognition, “ The One Dollar”. A work resulting from his admiration for the United States but also symbolizing what it is possible to do with a single dollar; "Making art with $1".[3]

In 2010, Lagasse was chosen to represent the town of Deauville (Normandy) on the occasion of the "Horsemania", the equestrian world championship which takes place in Lexington (United States), a city twinned with the seaside resort of Normandy, for which he made a custom sculpture.[4]

In the Art Monaco fair in 2011, Lagasse presented another of his emblematic works, the “Cryptogram One”.

To celebrate the 65th anniversary of the Cannes Film Festival in 2012, Karl Lagasse produced a “Building” (24 in × 24 in × 110 in) in cement, wood, glass, and photos in collaboration with Corbis and exhibited it at the Carlton Cinema Club. The artists presented at the festival were invited to sign the work and leave a message on it. This is what José Garcia, Michel Hazanavicius, Bérénice Bejo, Gad Elmaleh, Cuba Gooding Jr, Tim Roth, Matthew McConaughey and Zac Efron did.[5]

The same year, Karl Lagasse offered the city of Deauville a "Cryptogram One" made in bronze. The sculpture, which is (12 in × 12 in × 75 in), was installed at the entrance to the city (at the beginning of the Avenue de la République) and inaugurated by the mayor Philippe Augier on August 5, 2012.[6]

In 2014, Maserati contacted Karl Lagasse for the first time with the purpose of collaborating to celebrate the centenary of the prestigious Italian brand and the global launch of the new Ghibli. This model serves as the basis for the creation of the work called "Psalm 2". It was presented to the public during the Art Paris Art Fair of the same year.[7][8]

In 2017, Karl Lagasse created the trophy for the winners of the 43rd edition of the Deauville American Film Festival. Lagasse succeed la Maison Cartier, who was in charge of the trophy design the previous years.[9][10]

In 2018, the trophy for the Deauville American Film Festival was based on his Cryptogram sculpture. Artists like Elle Fanning, Sarah Jessica Parker, Morgan Freeman, and more, received the award. In 2019 a new trophy design for the Deauville American Film Festival was created, this time an engraved aluminum ring. Artists like Pierce Brosnan, Sophie Turner, Johnny Depp, Geena Davis, Kristen Stewart, and others received the award.[11]

2020, Karl created a new painting (Jesus is Lord), and a new trophy design for the Deauville American Film Festival, representing the Deauville beach cabins, typical of the region. Both highest prices offered until today for his paintings: “Jesus is Lord”, in Phillips auction, London; and “To Rob a Bank”, in Villanfray Et Associes auction, Paris.[12][13]
