Florian Hunger-Pegof

Florian Hunger-Pegof (1945-1995) is an Austrian artist. Like Bauhaus artists, he excels in various technics and artistic mastering skills. He is also a chemist and with a strong imagination combines the practice and the art of a Designer, Interior Architect, Photograph, Performer, Painter, Sculptor, Silversmith and Goldsmith.  

Designer and sculptor, he is creating wood and metal furnitures. Painter, his paintings are in a pure abstract Zen style. Color argentic photographer, he takes photos of his muses in emblematic places. His famous photo "My Muse", with a woman sitting on a monumental telephone, a granite sculpture located in Mauthausen granite carrier in Austria, is settled in this former sinister concentration camp of Mauthausen. For Hunger Pegof, this political photo is emblematic of a forgotten past and hope for a better future. 

His black and white argentic poetic photos are all devoted to his muses. Silversmith and Goldsmith, Florian Hunger Pegof works gold, silver and metal, creating art objects, sculptures and jewels, often with semi-precious stones, and worn by his nude models during his "Wiener Aktionismus" Happenings.
