Truck Art in Pakistan

in #travel7 years ago

Pakistan’s ‘truck art’ is now quite a well-known ‘genre’ around the world. For long, it has been an home-grown art-form in South East Asia, especially in Pakistan, where the whole idea of decorating trucks with complex floral patterns and poetic calligraphy, has evolved in the most radiant and innovative manner.

Truck Art is not only limited to truck but now it is moving on to lorries and even rickshaws.

Hi,
Thank you for your comment, This art is getting very popular

Thank you this form of art is getting very popular and recently saw Justin Trudeau's picture painted on one if the Trucks :-D

Interesting and very beautiful paintings on trucks but must be very expensive i think so....

Thank you for appreciating the art and to be honest it's not too expensive just really long process. My friend gave his scooter to get it done and they said it would take 3 to 4 weeks.

Amazing!!! I loved those truck designs... been to Karachi last october... keep it up!
