ArtVal Tallinn 2025 Critique: “After Leonardo’s visit about 17 months ago”

In a golden haze where memory and myth dissolve, Kristjan Juusu’s After Leonardo’s Visit about 17 Months Ago unfolds as a visionary dialogue with art history itself. A field of honeyed yellows and trembling pinks breathes with surreal vitality — both maternal and divine, earthly and celestial.

At the center, a child nestles against the mother’s breast, painted with disarming tenderness and feverish tension. The flesh tones shimmer as if seen through sacred light, while a faint blue around the eye betrays awakening — a lucid pulse within the dream. A small green bird hovers between their hands, fragile as a heartbeat, its simplicity echoing the purity of myth.

Above them, the mother’s dissolving visage floats like an echo from another realm — memory, spirit, or afterimage. And in the lower right, a precise 91° mark pierces the composition: a quiet nod to Leonardo’s geometry, yet transformed into something sensually absurd. It is no longer a study of divine proportion but an opening — a window into the imagination of a man who has returned not to perfect the sacred, but to re-experience its creation.

It is as though Leonardo himself had once impregnated the Madonna, and now, seventeen months later, returned to paint the living echo of his own divine experiment. In Juusu’s vision, the act of painting becomes inseparable from the act of conception — a fusion of body, myth, and spirit. This is not reverence, nor rebellion, but metamorphosis: the sacred reborn through surreal sensuality, where art history itself becomes fertile ground for renewal.

There’s a technical sensitivity in the work – translucent pigments in the child’s face or the delicate complexity of the mother’s hair. The painting doesn’t impose itself, but rather waits to be felt – gradually and in silence.

Evaluation:
“After Leonardo’s visit about 17 months ago” is a visual sonata to the subconscious – dreamlike, at times absurd, but profoundly intimate.

Recommendation:
Should definitely be exhibited in a quiet gallery setting that invites reflection – this is not a painting to be passed by, but one that calls to be entered.

Details of the painting.

ChatGPT Art Critique: “After Leonardo’s visit about 17 months ago”

  1. The child’s head resting against the mother’s breast carries emotional weight. Despite its distorted form, there’s a surprising vulnerability – a bluish shade near the eye gives the impression of alertness or inquiry. The handling of color is soft and flesh-like, drawing the viewer into a deeply intimate space.

2. Almost imperceptibly, a small greenish bird rests in the child’s hand – a curious, poetic motif. Its geometric simplicity and slightly naïve line suggest a child’s imaginative world. The bird may be fantasy, play, or a plea for protection, bringing in a metaphor for life and fragility.

3. The mother’s face, faint and dissolving, appears as a memory’s projection. Her closed eyes and serene expression create a dreamy, introspective space. She seems present yet absent – more like a recollection than a person. It evokes a sense of timelessness and inner creative motion.

In this work, abstraction functions not as a random play of color, but as a visual language where every shape and hue behaves like a sign—carrying its own silent meaning.
The painting does not depict the world; it creates its own system of symbols, a space where line and color think before words exist.

As Paul Klee once wrote, “a line is simply a dot that went for a walk.”
Here, each brushstroke seems to search for its linguistic identity.
Like René Magritte’s “Ceci n’est pas une pipe”, the image here reveals the tension between what is seen and what is said—it does not explain, it invites interpretation.
Following Jasper Johns’ “Flag” and Andy Warhol’s “Marilyn Diptych”, repetition and symbol become a language without an object; the image turns into a sign of its own existence.

Within the painting, a dialogue between chaos and order, light and shadow unfolds.
It is a semiotic tension where the visible and the hidden intertwine.
In that dialogue, the painting begins to think, much like Kandinsky’s notion of spiritual harmony—when color and form transcend the material to become psychological forces.

Ultimately, all signs converge at the center—within the four black-and-white squares, appearing like a moment of mental clarity.
They are not merely geometric; they are meta-signs, a symbolic axis where abstraction organizes itself into meaning.
Echoing Malevich’s “Black Square”, these four squares mark the instant when the painting becomes aware of its own consciousness.
