Description Pakal is the alter ego of an established street artist. In April 2018 the artist presented the exhibition The Missing Museum within the Prints & Originals Gallery. Within The Missing Museum ideas of fact and fiction intertwine. The artist presented the vibrant works of the Laka tribe who believed creativity was the path to transformation and reinvention. As a means of alternative expression by the artist, Pakal chooses not to reveal his or her identity. In this way the artist wishes to let the artworks exist within their own autonomous context, and to avoid any comparison with other work produced by the artist. Free from boundaries, borders or labels, the artist invites the viewer to find their own connections with the works. The use of vivid colours, different materials and subject matter connected with the Far East and indigenous art of Central America add to the intrigue.
