Singer Nick Jonas on the lookout for South-east Asian art
American singer-actor Nick Jonas is starting to get serious about art collecting, and it is all thanks to his Indian actress-wife Priyanka Chopra and elder brother-band-mate Joe Jonas.
In town for Singapore Art Week 2026's opening reception at National Gallery Singapore on Jan 21, the 33-year-old professes his love for art from Asia.
"My interest in Southeast Asian art was definitely influenced by my wife," he tells The Straits Times in a press conference with local media. He and Chopra, 43, share a four-year-old daughter.
"I've come to know some amazing work from our friends in India and their homes, and coming here today and seeing some of the pieces... (Filipino painter and sculptor) Juan Luna, for instance I was blown away by and really loved."
The pop star adds: "And there's a few other things that really inspired me to continue to learn and absorb. I'm no expert by any means, but this is a really exciting first step into my venture into learning more about Southeast Asian art and Singapore art, and I'm just thrilled at the chance to come and do it all today."
