Handbook of Stylography - Papa Oumar Fall

After more than 20 years of Stylography’s practice (on paper and on fabric), I think that it is time to systematize my painting techniques and also to promote the results of initial experiments which was done from 2003 to 2008.

According to Chomsky every native speaker has an innate knowledge of the language mechanisms. His assumptions about mental grammar and universal grammar helped me a lot to refine my methodology: by putting an emphasis on the language faculty, especially the innate ability of graphic representation and expression. This led me, by analogy, to believe in the existence of an inherent faculty of the human being that allows him to represent himself and the world around him (perception-representation) and to transform virtually his environment into a symbolic reality. In short, the imagination ("mental images") at the service of the pure expression of human creativity.
