Artist Charles Young is expanding his intricate city of miniature paper buildings, with 258 structures already completed from a series inspired by Sanzo Wada's color theory book. He is currently working on the final 90 models from the first volume, which explores two-color combinations, and has also created works featuring multiple colors.
In June, Young will exhibit 120 of his three-color paper sculptures at Galerie Handwerk in Munich, while other architecturally inspired works in wood and cane are concurrently on view in Scotland. This ongoing project highlights the intersection of meticulous craft, architectural study, and systematic color exploration, demonstrating how structured constraints can fuel prolific and visually engaging artistic practice.
