“What Artists did in Lockdown” has something to do with a recent TV series “What do Artists do all day?” the implication being they laze around a lot. Accusations abound that for some folk Lockdown was a bit of a gift. Most Artists have probably worked harder during the pandemic, but my picture has them dog training, bank robbing, building model battleships out of matchsticks etc. etc. The double meaning of the satire is that Artists are essential workers.
