Pakistani Painted Truck Art

In Pakistan, art is not necessarily confined to galleries; it is

also found on the road. All around Pakistan you will find brightly colored and decorated trucks. They are covered with paintings, ornaments, reflectors, woodcarvings, and other decorations, which become the most recognizable features of the county. They are the world famous "art trucks". 

Almost every single truck in the country is it's own masterpiece. They provide a moving canvas for the artists, who express their feelings through the medium of art and splendor of colors. The cost for this transition to the truck owner can be as much as a third of the total truck cost. All across Pakistan, this folk art has turned village lanes, city streets and long-distance highways into a national gallery.
