Inspired by César Baldaccini, whom he met at the age of 7, Lagasse turned to sculpture while maintaining his love for graffiti, a form of artistic expression that he practiced on streets and subways. A decisive encounter with Yvaral Vasarely opened up new perspectives for him and encouraged him to merge graffiti with sculpture.
In 2009, he created his iconic work entitled “One Dollar”. This piece is the result of his admiration for the United States and his idea of “making art with $1.” Lagasse has produced this work in numerous colors and with various materials.
In 2016, he pushed the boundaries of his creation by creating a monumental bronze sculpture, a “One Dollar” measuring 2 meters high and weighing 500 kg. It was exhibited during the Paris Art Fair. In 2017, Karl Lagasse designed the trophy for the 43rd edition of the Deauville American Film Festival based on the sea and waves.
Julie is an artist from Saint-Étienne, who has always been passionate about the ocean. For her, moving water creates lights and shapes that are an inexhaustible source of inspiration for her art. She is particularly fascinated by the power of the waves, which remind humanity of its humble position in the face of the greatness and strength of nature. Although she started painting in 2018, it was during lockdown in 2020 that Julie fully launched her passion for painting waves and the ocean. She has exhibited several times in Paris and all over France.
Julie's unique style vividly captures the energy and beauty of the waves. Her passion for the sea and the waves is clearly reflected in each of her works, which are both soothing and captivating. She also explores deeper and more intense themes, where waves are depicted in a darker and more aggressive way, offering a different and more complex perspective on her art.
