Apart from its exceptional thickness, the fiber paper is composed of an alpha-cellulose base without acid and it is covered with barium sulphate, and a microporous layer absorption enhancing pigments during printing. A pure white color, non-yellowing to light, this paper is especially designed for resistance and aging. It is used by major museums worldwide as it offers excellent resolution, rendering deep and dense colors.

1986
Sometimes when one paints, being exalted beyond the limits of normal, with an intensity leading to frenzy, a force comes out of oneself that transforms and impregnates itself in the painting in a magnetic way and with eternal effluvia.
As a various provocation, Zéro Zoo says that this famous and magnetic painting that was executed entirely with a brush and whose technical skill is related to the academic realism of the 19th century, surpasses in technical virtuosity that of the illustrious representative of this period, William Bouguereau. Let us check and compare the surface of the paintings with a magnifying glass. Let us see the prodigious and angelic technical perfection of this masterpiece where no brushstroke is perceptible to the naked eye. Let us observe the incredible presence of this face of Venus that I created, invented. This face is one of the most beautiful female faces that has been painted, if not the most beautiful, the entire universe has been put there. The figure of this goddess was the subject of a composition of 17 nuanced tones of color that were extended in fine, subtle layers, and superimposed, in order to obtain the true complexion composed and changing of the flesh according to my fabulous recipes and techniques. This masterpiece is one of the best painted paintings of all time. The Mona Lisa has faded and is downgraded. This work could only have been created by an initiated artist and heir to the precious and unique knowledge allowing the creation of divine beauty. Let us observe and feel the spirit and the powerful impregnation that emerge from the gaze of this face. Let us note the vibrant irradiation never weakening that emanates from this inhabited figure. I have imbued this work with life as all the great works of the great masters always are. In the presence of such works, it provokes emotion one after the other, like certain Michelangelo marbles, certain Da Vinci paintings. Sometimes when one paints, being exalted beyond the limits of normal, with an intensity leading to a frenzy, a force comes out of oneself which transforms and impregnates itself in the painting, in a magnetic way, with eternal effluvia. If Zero Zoo had lived among the Greeks, he would have been taken for a God, his hands would have been kissed and some exalted and swollen heads certainly his feet!
Nota Bene: This masterpiece was inspired in part by the clothes of the Middle Ages which were fashionable and worn every day by women of the people, but also by better-off women and the nobility, in the latter case these clothes then become super design and fall under the category of haute couture. In the medieval era, veils and gorgets which cover the head, ears, neck, make their arrivals. Some are extravagantly creative, original, and of great beauty. Pictorial examples between the 12th and 15th centuries abound, museum cellars are full of them and one can imagine that if they are kept in the cellars it is because it is wanted that way because what many do not know is that the Catholic Church used its authority so that all women wear the veil. Women have been able to go to church with their hair uncovered only since the mid-1960s and it is only from the mid-1980s that the need to have the head covered is no longer present in canon law. Headscarves, hats, veils, mantillas, scarves, take the sidelines. It is always strange to note the prohibitions and imposed clothing freedoms that come and go, depending on the times and places. Independently and in parallel with this, great fashion designers and great stars and sex symbols of the 20th century, women of all kinds, will wear veils attached to the hat and covering the face, kerchiefs and scarves covering the head and often even the neck depending on the way they are worn and tied. And then, you have to cover your head in winter!
It is incredible that simple pieces of fabric, and flags are another example, have caused people to kill each other for centuries.
Zéro Zoo is a witness to its time in relation to the past and the future by fixing neuralgic points of reflection.
Zero Zoo is a multiple artist and creator who is extremely composite: "I am a virtuoso artist unrecognizable from one pictorial concept to another, I am for the fullness of expression, I have always created in an incredible diversity of Zerozoist approaches and styles that can even be extremely antagonistic and that defy all rules and all academicisms from subsidized institutional art called "contemporary art", but also from "traditional art" that is just as narrow-minded. In dissidence, I live, create, fight in the thicket of art, I had clearly said "My only weapon was art and writing: I am for armament." Zero Zoo was, is, and will be as is against all odds."

François-Pierre Bleau, known as ZÉRO ZOO, a diversified painter-sculptor and dissident art ideologue, was born in Montreal in 1952. His entire artistic and ideological work, spanning a career spanning 50 years, is summarized in his book "Précis de Zérozoïsme" in 4 volumes, 2100 pages, 578 reproductions, and has been the subject of 10 editions since 1986, available in digital or paper format at Amazon and in bookstores.
Zéro Zoo is an innovative artist and creator who is extremely diversified. "I am a virtuoso artist who is unrecognizable from one pictorial concept to another. I am for the fullness of expression. I have always created in an incredible diversity of Zerozoist approaches and styles that can even be opposed to excess and that defy the rules and academicisms resulting from subsidized institutional art called "contemporary art", but also from "traditional art" just as narrow-minded. In dissidence, I live, create, fight in the thicket of art. Zero Zoo has been, is, and will be as is against all odds."
Zero Zoo has practiced the profession of artist full-time since the age of 18, mainly in Canada and the USA. He was represented by 50 galleries listed on three continents. "To remain free, I also used parallel means of dissemination and sale for my art, underground means that I call my art maquis."
Zéro Zoo never wanted to do exhibitions, preferring the effectiveness of varied works that, as soon as they are done, are exhibited in galleries and quickly sold. "The only exhibition I did in 50 years was a didactic event demonstrating my Zerozoism, lasting 4 months, it attracted 5,000 visitors to the Zerozoist Museum in Montreal despite an admission price. It was my Expo-Zérozoïste of 1986, which remains the most radical and protest-oriented historical event in art. It attacked the key points of art, advocated a revolutionary ideology, a new aesthetic." This exhibition received the worst criticism in the annals of art, because it overturned the dictatorial establishment of art; the academicism of contemporary art! This emancipation of art brought over the years, to its initiator, Zéro Zoo, a notoriety and a specific artistic value associated with his works. The event received wide factual coverage; radio, television, written press, unleashing endless passions!
Zéro Zoo, the Zérozoïste guide, is a self-taught artist-researcher who learned on the job. "All of my work is complex, polymorphous, polysemic, labyrinthine, goes to the antipodes, defies rules and examples. It uses the tensions between conformism and anticonformism, plays on the balance and imbalance of these tensions against stagnation; academicism. My work is a reflection and microcosm of life, society, the universe. Its versatility is a system of creation, exploration, liberation, sharing; a courteous fight against stupidity in art and in life. Its goals; unprecedented, unlimited progress toward harmony and orgasmic and heavenly well-being.
