Florian Pumhösl (born 1971) is a contemporary artist based in Vienna, mainly known for his works that employ abstract visual language to reflect on the diverse manifestations of modernity. His interests include "historical formal vocabulary of modernism," and "the genealogical derivation of a particular form" and its sociopolitical setting.

Often taking the form of a series, his works span a wide range of media, including films, installations, objects, and glass paintings.
