BIOGRAPHY
NOIR BLANC 0.9 — A project by Floris v. Beuningen.
Depth. Possibility. And becoming.
NOIR BLANC 0.9 is a monochromatic fashion project that explores the space between black and white — a space of tension, structure, and silence. It is a visual discipline built on balance, incompletion, and refined restraint. The name is not about contrast but about emergence, between control and chaos, presence and absence, what is finished and what is still forming. “0.9” stands for the almost-complete — a moment held just before resolution, where imperfection becomes identity and restraint becomes force.
NOIR is depth. BLANC is possibility. Together they form a language of becoming — geometric, minimal, exact. Each garment — from hoodies and T-shirts to caps and accessories — functions as a wearable artefact, stripped of distraction, rooted in symbolism. Greyscale is not an aesthetic choice, but a principle: it reduces the world to form, energy, and intent. NOIR BLANC 0.9 does not follow seasons, trends or noise. It follows structure, silence, and symbolic clarity.
NOIR BLANC 0.9 — the meaning behind silence.
0.9 represents near perfection. It is the power of the unfinished — a work in balance, yet never complete, between control and chaos, between black and white. NOIR BLANC 0.9 is balance, imperfection, unfinished. Noir Blanc is not a color combination; it is the space between two extremes. It is where form emerges — at the boundary between presence and absence, between light and emptiness, between what is and what remains. Noir is not merely darkness — it is depth. Blanc is not pure — it is potential. Noir Blanc is silence as language, form as memory. It stands for the space between black and white — a world in greyscale where balance, form, and imperfection converge. 0.9 symbolizes the almost-complete: silence before completion, strength in the unfinished. A visual language of contrast, geometry, and essence — minimal, mystical, and pure.
Floris v. Beuningen
Floris v. Beuningen is a multidisciplinary artist and designer working at the intersection of digital technology, symbolic systems, and minimalist form. His work merges physical and virtual processes, creating a unified visual language expressed through paintings, plexiglass constructions, fashion, and digital artefacts.
At the core of his practice is a pursuit of visual silence — a stripping away of excess to uncover structure, presence, and metaphysical resonance. Drawing from ancient mythologies, sacred geometry, Latin philosophy, and natural symmetries, his work constructs symbolic systems that exist across mediums and dimensions.
Digital environments are not a separate world in his practice, but an extension of the same language. His digital works are designed with the same precision and intentionality as his physical ones — often becoming portals for sculptural objects, layered prints, or interactive installations. This fluid movement between digital and physical, between data and matter, reflects his core philosophy: art as transformation.
Working entirely in greyscale, v. Beuningen treats color as unnecessary noise. Geometry, light, and shadow form his true palette. In this visual discipline, triangles, circles, and modular structures become carriers of energy and encoded meaning.
His artworks are not decorative. They are meditative structures.
His fashion is not style-driven. It is symbolic construction.
Whether in code, canvas, plexiglass or cloth, each piece speaks in the same voice — quiet, structured, timeless.
This is the world of Floris v. Beuningen.
Depth. Possibility. And becoming.
