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.

A committed artist who excels in photography, his artistic work is strongly influenced by his passion for the preservation of the oceans. Travelling the world, he collects marine litter, seeking to raise public awareness of this crucial problem.

As a photographer, he captures the marine litter he collects in an artistic way. His photographs evoke the fragile beauty of these abandoned objects while revealing the devastating impact of pollution on our oceans. Each image tells a story and encourages reflection on our collective responsibility for the environment.

He describes himself as a “tenant” of the land and a world traveller, seeking to pay tribute to the ocean by raising awareness through his works. Through his work Thierry invites us to think about our impact on the oceans and the urgency of maintaining these fragile ecosystems.
