"Fine-Arts" prints on paper
It is a process of printing on art paper using very high-quality pigment inks and printed in very high definition. Its level of conservation is exceptional (more than 100 years), its quality, depth, and richness of nuances exceeds the classic photo print on Argentic paper.

Glossy finish
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.

Authentique bocal de verre et véritables poissons séchés et agglutinés à l'intérieur suite à l’évaporation progressive de l’eau.
Objet, installation et sculpture de table Zérozoïstes.
(N’ayez crainte, Zéro Zoo n’a pas laissé sécher les poissons dans leur bocal! Il s’agit d’une création, d’une mise en scène, d’une dramatisation dont le but fut de fabriquer un objet, une installation et une sculpture de table Zérozoïste qui soit d’une grande force de frappe et ayant un grand impact sur tous. Les poissons furent achetés dans le quartier chinois, il s’agit d’une variété de minuscules thons séchés et vendus en sac. Dans la cuisine asiatique, on les effrite pour les mettre dans la soupe. Zéro Zoo les a collés sur les parois d’un bocal ayant précédemment été rempli d’eau mélangée à de la poudre d’alques spiruline verte, l’eau a été retirée à la cuillère un peu à la fois tous les deux jours, laissant sur la vitre des strates d’eau séchée imitant une évaporation graduelle d’un résidu d’eau brouillé, comme si le bocal avait été oublié avec les poissons à l'intérieur durant deux à trois mois lors d’un voyage, par exemple. L’effet réaliste en trois dimensions était hallucinant et fascinant!
L'oeuvre s'expose sur une table de salon sous un globe, ou dans un meuble vitré. Zéro Zoo est l'inventeur premier des installations Zérozoïstes de table en 1969.
ANECDOTE AU SUJET DE CETTE ŒUVRE :
L’oeuvre fut exposée pour la première fois lors de la célèbre et historique «Expo Zérozoïste» de Montréal en 1986, qui a eu lieu au «Musée Zérozoïste». Un événement d’envergure non subventionné par l’état et qui fut d’une durée de 4 mois et attira 5000 visiteurs malgré un coût d’entrée identique à celui des autres Musées. Certains visiteurs, heurtés par cette cruauté envers les animaux, crurent bon d’avertir la «Société protectrice des animaux», ainsi que la police. Évidemment, après que Zéro Zoo leur ait expliqué la situation, ils ont vu et constaté la méprise!
Cette «Expo Zérozoïste» a eu lieu dans la principale salle monumentale et princière d’un édifice de type beaux-arts que Zéro Zoo avait loué à grands frais. Le «Musée Zérozoïste», situé de l’autre côté de la rue du «Musée des beaux-arts de Montréal», et à seulement quelques minutes de marche de ce dernier, fut qualifié avec l’expo qu’il présentait, de pieds de nez, d’«insulte» au «Musée des beaux-arts de Montréal» par la critique
Zéro Zoo attaquait de plein fouet tout l’establisment de l’art avec ses œuvres, son idéologie révolutionnaire ainsi que le lieu provocateur choisi pour cet évènement historique. Cette expo s’avéra être la plus contestataire et la plus radicale de toutes les solutions de rechange jamais vues dans les beaux-arts. Cet évènement qui ébranlait et renversait l'establisment de l’art a eu droit, par conséquent, et évidemment, à la pire critique de toutes les annales de l’histoire de l’art, mais c’était là, pour Zéro Zoo, le début d’une grande histoire et victoire continuelle.

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.
