I've just seen the mural and the painting's composition is indeed very strong and quite traditional or formal

Note from asker:
| I did think of 'composition' but wasn't sure this was the meaning - I need to fit the 'formale' bit in somewhere too... thanks! |

: It think composition is right, I don't think you need "formal". I would drop "scheme", sounds like interior decor.

Comment: "Thanks. I think the addition of 'formal' is important here given the contrast with later more 'informale' (abstract) works."
