Owner of The Maidstone Hotel Features Work of Swedish Artist in New Film

EAST HAMPTON, NY — Swedish artist Jacob Felländer, whose work has been seen at c/o The Maidstone Hotel in East Hampton, will see his large-scale, kaleidoscopic photographs featured in a new movie, "Inconceivable", directed, produced and co-starring Jonathan Baker.

Baker and his wife, Jenny, own and operate c/o The Maidstone Hotel.

Felländer’s art was hanging in c/o The Maidstone Hotel’s Cozy Lounge before being shipped to the set of "Inconceivable", a release said.

"Inconceivable", described in a release as "a sexy psychological drama," stars Oscar winners Nicolas Cage and Faye Dunaway and co-stars Nicky Whelan and Gina Gershon.

The film, which is being made by Lionsgate Studios, began shooting on Oct. 10 and is set for a 2017 release date.

“His work is all over the main house that Nic (Cage) and Gina (Gershon) live in,” said Baker, who lives in Los Angeles, New York and East Hampton. “His work will be used in the master bedroom, the master hallways, the living room and dining room. His inspiration will allow the lens to pop with colors and define the people in the film with great richness. I am proud to have his art in my art."

The art, Baker added, "was handpicked by me and created after he came to The Maidstone for an Artist in Residence program in May. I was so inspired by him that I created the living space around his art for my film Inconceivable.”

Felländer, 42, who was born in Stockholm, Sweden, originally came to the United States on a golf scholarship before finding his inspiration in fine art photography, graphic design and landscape photography.

By 2004, Felländer had perfected a technique using relic film cameras to capture multiple exposures in a single image, the release stated.

"Being part of the photo collection at the Maidstone is a huge honor. Jonathan and Jenny Baker's way of letting art and the creative processes be the hero in everything they are involved in is extremely inspiring," says Felländer.

“Jacob is one of our dear friends and it’s an honor and a privilege to have his art in the hotel and now my husband’s movie,” said Jenny Baker. “His style gives any room a unique aura, just as all the others artist’s work at The Maidstone. We love supporting artists from all over the world as well as the art community in the Hamptons.”
