Urs Wehrli -Tidying up art

I don't know if anyone here has ever heard of him: Urs Wehrli is one of the most famous Swiss comedians. His best-knowm work is "Tidying up art", where he puts old paintings in a new order. I find this very funny and creative, and it works without language, so it can also be enjoyed in foreign countries.
Here's a video where he shows some of his work: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hL4TEw3avBA
You also find some of his work at Google: https://www.google.de/search?hl=de&site=imghp&tbm=isch&source=hp&biw=1280&bih=854&q=urs+wehrli&oq=urs+w&gs_l=img.1.0.0l10.928.2413.0.3548.5.5.0.0.0.0.148.562.1j4.5.0...0.0...1ac.1.12.img.Ve-Rs_D4myk

Yes, very nice idea. Art from the perspective of an autistic person.
Funnily enough, I know those two (Ursus & Nadeschkin) from German TV...not from Swiss TV where they should have been promoted. Switzerland has a dubious talent for scaring its talents away.

Oh, danke dass du Werbung für schweizer comedy machst. Wäre wohl meine Aufgabe gewesen.

P.S: Gibt's den Quatsch Comedy Club eigentlich noch?

Gerngeschehen. I like the Swiss, I think they are very creative and have a good sense of humour, and there are some really great and unconventional comedians there. Another Swiss comedy duo I find absolutely genius is "Ohne Rolf": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9e31phnMTKs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lm4tVaP18j4

I found a video of Wehrli where he shows his work and speaks English, very funny: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wp0C4jF38AM
