Abahoman is a retrospective art volume showcasing the work of Jogen Chowdhury, one of India's most celebrated contemporary painters and draftsmen. Published in conjunction with a major exhibition, the book traces Chowdhury's artistic journey through a selection of paintings, drawings, pastels, and ink works spanning several decades. Rather than serving as an instructional art book, it presents a curated visual archive accompanied by scholarly essays that examine his distinctive style, recurring themes, and contribution to modern Indian art. The volume is aimed primarily at art historians, collectors, curators, and readers with an interest in contemporary Indian painting.

The book explores Chowdhury's expressive figurative works, characterized by rhythmic lines, distorted forms, cross-hatching, and subtle psychological depth. Essays discuss his influences, artistic philosophy, social observations, and the evolution of his visual language within the broader context of post-independence Indian art. Richly illustrated with high-quality reproductions, Abahoman serves as an exhibition catalogue and academic reference rather than a general introduction to art.
