Chevolleau worked under Jean Souverbie at the École des Beaux Arts de Paris, and also attended the Académie Grande Chaumière, under Othon Friesz. He befriended the artist Jacques Villon, and in 1951 joined a group of young avant-garde artists known as the École de Puteaux on the outskirts of Paris. He began to exhibit his work at the major salons such as the Salon d’Automne and the Salon Comparaisons. His talent attracted the attention of the prominent art collector Camille Renault, who was so impressed he provided him with his first solo exhibition at his Parisian restaurant. Chevolleau went on to hold several more shows at the venue before making his international debut in 1954 at the Watson Gallery in Montreal, Canada.
