TRUCK ART IN PESHAWAR PAKISTAN | REVIEW BY AUSTRALIAN ARTIST | | GEORGE GITTOES | VLOG |

The extraordinary Pakistani tradition of decorating trucks is said to have its roots in the days of the Raj when craftsmen made glorious horse drawn carriages for the gentry. In the 1920s the Kohistan Bus Company asked the master craftsman Ustad Elahi Bakhsh to decorate their buses to attract passengers. Bukhsh employed a company of artists from the Punjab town of Chiniot, who’s ancestors had worked on many great palaces and temples dating back to the Mughal Empire.
