Pakistan's ‘truck art' is now quite a well-known ‘genre' around the world. For long, it has been an homegrown art-form
in South Asia, especially in Pakistan, where the whole idea of decorating trucks (also, lorries and even rickshaws) with
complex floral patterns and poetic calligraphy, has evolved in the most radiant and innovative manner.

This indigenous art-form became known to the developed world from the 1970s onwards when European and American tourists
took back the photographs they had taken of heavily painted and decorated trucks and buses on the roads and streets of
Pakistan .Many trucks and buses are highly customized and decorated by their owners. External truck decoration can cost
thousands of dollars. The decoration often contains elements that remind the truck drivers of home, since they may be away from home
for months at a time. The art is a mode of expression for the truck drivers. Decoration may include structural changes, paintings, calligraphy and ornamental-décor like mirror work on the front and back of vehicles and wooden carvings on the truck doors. Depictions of various historical scenes and poetic verses are also common.
Outfitting is often completed at a coach workshop. Chains and pendants often dangle off the front bumper

In Pakistan, Karachi is a major city center for truck art, though there are other hubs in Rawalpindi, Swat, Peshawar, Quetta and Lahore. Trucks from Baluchistan and Peshawar are often heavily trimmed with wood, while trucks from Rawalpindi and Islamabad often feature plastic work. Camel bone ornamentation and predominance of red colors is commonly seen on trucks decorated in Sindh.

Truck art in Hindi and Urdu is sometimes called Phool Patti


Though cars are not traditionally decorated in South Asia, there are examples of cars embellished in a truck art style. In 2009, The Foxy Shahzadi, a 1974 VW Beetle decorated in a truck art style, travelled from Pakistan to France in a 25-day journey

The lively colors of Pakistani trucks have inspired some fashion designers. The Italian fashion company Dolce & Gabbana used truck art-inspired displays in a 2015 campaign. Although used more often on women's fashion, some men's clothing have been inspired by South Asian truck art.

So the painters of truck art, mostly stationed in workshops and cheap roadside eateries along Pakistan's highways.

The first to get painted in this manner were the ‘mini-buses' of Karachi. A 1975 feature (in the now defunct Urdu newspaper, Aman), quotes a mini-bus driver describing his heavily decorated and painted vehicle as a dhulan (bride). The style was soon adapted on trucks.

In Paradise — a book about the famous but now defunct ‘hippie trail' which ran from Turkey to Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan and all the way to India and Nepal — mentions how a group of European hippies (in 1974) would take LSD and
then go online bus and truck spotting on the roads of Pakistan! To them it was ‘psychedelic heaven.'
