Concept Note
This site is dedicated to the celebration and promotion of Pakistani truck art. Anyone
who has been to Pakistan knows that the sight of a fully decorated truck is unforgettable. A truck
embellished from bumper to bumper with paint and colorful, sculpted metal is expressive and
captivating in ways that few other artistic media can duplicate. Decorated Pakistani trucks declare a
dazzling, exuberant artistry that is unmatched on vehicles anywhere else in the world.
Decoration pieces typically adorn a truck’s side carriage and are placed on top of a
mural or painting. Ranging in size from less than a square foot to more than six feet, decoration
pieces are often the flashiest part of a fully embellished truck. Consisting of a metal base covered
with colorful reflective stickers, or chamak patty, and further highlighted with mirrors or studs,
decoration pieces are shaped to represent any of the truck art motifs, such as birds, fish, and flowers.
The decoration piece is an important flourish on the truck because the artistic materials make the
piece the most reflective part of the vehicle. There is no Urdu word for decoration piece, and both
truck drivers and truck artists will use the English term.
