Cherub, Tron Theatre

Cherub, Tron Theatre, Argyle Street
Fitting snugly into an alcove on the corner of one of Glasgow's favourite theatres, Kenny Hunter's bronze Cherub is a beautifully modelled symbol of innocence and impishness. Cherubs are a very old symbol often seen in allegorical paintings. Sometimes they are quite angelic, but mostly they are a cunning mix of harmless child and devilish imp. These qualities are easily seen in this sculpture, installed in 1998. The Tron Theatre was completely refurbished in 1998, and this piece was added during the early stages of the re-development.
