Debbie Dickinson is proud to present EMERSION, a celebration of the transformative power of art, fashion, and design, curated to coincide with the kickoff of New York Fall Art Week 2026.

The exhibition brings together four exceptional creative voices—Alayna Coverly, Neil Kerman, Gabriella Anouk, and luxury jewelry designer Catherine M. Zadeh—whose distinct disciplines converge through color, form, texture, material, and artisanship. Alayna Coverly explores intimate human relationships through vibrant figurative oil paintings that emphasize tenderness, personal connection, resilience, and the restorative power of community. Neil Kerman creates dynamic abstractions in which bold color, pattern, texture, and movement form an expressive visual language that evokes emotion and energy. Gabriella Anouk transforms familiar subjects through extraordinary hyperrealist colored-pencil drawings, merging photorealism, surrealism, and pop art while playing with scale, shine, texture, and unexpected contrasts between the natural and synthetic. At the heart of the exhibition, Catherine M. Zadeh, luxury jewelry designer and CFDA member, brings a sculptural approach to jewelry, transforming form, material, and fine artisanship into sophisticated works of wearable art. Each work is individually conceived and executed, reflecting the distinctive hand, vision, and personal expression of its creator. Presented at ZADEH Atelier on Madison Avenue, EMERSION creates a dynamic dialogue between contemporary art, fashion, jewelry, and design—disciplines united by imagination, craftsmanship, and the transformative power of the creative hand. A portion of the proceeds will directly support the Alzheimer’s Association Imagine Benefit, adding a meaningful philanthropic dimension to an exhibition celebrating creativity, connection, and the power of art to make a difference.

EMERSION – SYNOPSIS

EMERSION, curated by Debbie Dickinson, explores what emerges when we look beyond the surface. Bringing together Neil Kerman, Alayna Coverly, Gabriella Anouk, and fine jewelry designer Catherine M. Zadeh, the exhibition creates a dialogue between abstraction, the human figure, hyperrealism, and sculptural jewelry. Through color, emotion, imagination, and adornment, each artist reveals a different dimension of perception, inviting us to discover what might otherwise remain unseen.

ABOUT THE ARTISTS

GABRIELLA ANOUK is a British-Dutch contemporary artist specializing in hyperrealist colored-pencil drawings that merge photorealism, surrealism, fine art, and pop art. Inspired by shine, sculptural forms, and the surrealism of Salvador Dalí, she transforms familiar subjects through unexpected shifts in scale, texture, and material, creating strikingly dimensional works. With more than 500,000 social media followers, Gabriella has introduced a new generation to art while sharing the evolution of her creative practice. Based in Brooklyn, she has an international following of collectors across the UK, Europe, the United States, Australia, Hong Kong, and the Middle East. Committed to giving back, she has raised more than $100,000 through artwork donations and auctions benefiting youth charities in New York and the UK.

NEIL KERMAN is a Brooklyn-born contemporary artist whose vibrant abstract works explore color, emotion, movement, and visual rhythm. He credits his passion for painting and color to his uncle, Jack Adler, a longtime illustrator and colorist for DC Comics known for his work with iconic characters including Superman and Batman. Kerman describes his abstract art as “a visual language unto itself,” using color, texture, pattern, and form to create dynamic and expressive compositions. His work has been exhibited internationally in Spain, Switzerland, England, France, Israel, Singapore, Korea, Brazil, and Monaco. Among his most meaningful achievements was his solo exhibition at the United Nations in New York, Alzheimer’s Global Initiative, where his paintings explored the emotions and experiences associated with Alzheimer’s disease.

ALAYNA COVERLY is a Brooklyn-based figurative artist working primarily in oil paint. She holds a BFA in Painting and Drawing from Ohio University and an MFA in Painting from the New York Academy of Art. Her work explores complex, intimate relationships and the ways they are shaped by systemic patriarchal violence. Moving away from aggressive imagery that can become desensitizing, Coverly approaches difficult subjects through vibrant compositions centered on tenderness, vulnerability, personal connection, and the restorative power of community. Her paintings create space for both reflection and healing, transforming deeply personal experiences into a visual language that considers resilience, human connection, and the emotional bonds that sustain us.

CATHERINE M. ZADEH is a New York–based jewelry designer and founder of ZADEH, known for sculptural designs that unite fine artisanship with a distinctly modern sensibility. A member of the Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA), Zadeh approaches jewelry as both adornment and artistic expression, creating pieces distinguished by refined form, proportion, texture, and material. Her work reflects an appreciation for architecture, contemporary design, and the individuality of the wearer, resulting in collections that are sophisticated yet unexpected. Through her Madison Avenue atelier, Zadeh has created an intimate environment where jewelry, art, fashion, and design intersect, extending her creative vision beyond the object itself and into a broader cultural dialogue.
