Friends I Haven't Met is Tēvita Lātū's nearly sold out, 18-piece exhibition of Picasso-esque works at a North Shore gallery.
Despite being established for only eight years, Lātū has already visited Australia, Tahiti, Cook Islands, New Zealand and Samoa, to display his artwork.
This success is unprecedented for the Tongan, who comes from a country that disregards art as nothing more than a hobby.
"In Tonga getting a degree in art is like getting a degree in fishing," Lātū said.
