Galerie-P6-Berlin is pleased to present Helios Garden, a solo exhibition by contemporary artist Ian Jones, on view from September 12 – October 3, 2025, by private appointment.

This new body of work invites viewers into Jones’s vivid inner world, where everyday encounters with people and nature—hovering between the real and the surreal—are reframed through photography, digital innovation, art-historical reverence, and personal transformation under the radiance of the sun.

Helios Garden reflects the artist’s ongoing explorations of life, community, travel, and human connection. With an intuitive eye for the subtle and ephemeral, Jones captures fleeting moments from mortal and organic realms, transforming the ordinary into the extraordinary. Through photography enhanced by the transformative capacities of AI, these snapshots evolve into compositions that blur the boundaries between classical visual traditions and contemporary innovation.

In Greek mythology, Helios, the personification of the sun, is depicted as a radiant god crowned with a golden aureole, guiding his four-horse chariot across the sky. Guardian of oaths and god of sight, Helios embodies illumination and truth. In Helios Garden, this mythic resonance takes form in seven works, echoing the seven rays of the sun in homage to the divine figure’s iconography.

Deeply informed by his passion for art history, Jones reimagines time-honored aesthetics through modern tools, offering a reflective yet forward-facing vision of how we see and experience the world today. Dreamlike and layered, these works bridge the personal and the universal, the digital and the natural, the fleeting and the eternal—illuminating the enduring power of light as the essence of growth.
