"When Bullet Shih arrived in Budapest in 2000, after a decade in New York City, he stepped into a budding artistic community. There he would spend the next twenty years as a driving force through his work both as a painter and curator. Bullet's observations about the inner workings of society formed the basis for his self-declared Neo-Naive Movement. As the leader of his movement, Bullet - through art, writing, and actions - pushed against established systems and compelled others to look at life differently. This catalogue raisonné, pulled together posthumously by the artist's sister, reveals Bullet's creativity across multiple mediums, including oil painting, ceramics, postcard art, work on paper, and collage. With reflections from the artist himself and recollections from others around him, this catalogue highlights the achievements of an innovator who, through his desire to influence and re-shape the world around him, became a galvanizing voice for experimental art in Budapest."
