Chaoming Zheng (Sadie) is a London based printmaker, painter, and multidisciplinary artist working across installation, moving image, tattooing and writing. She often uses copper or brass items, old toys, or fragments of domestic architecture to process cleaning, repetition, inscription, and resistance during becoming.

Her practice explores the affective residues of displacement, bodily failure, and unarchived histories, drawing from personal and collective diasporic conditions. Chaoming acts as a shapeshifting bard, or a slippery fox, playing with make-belief to glitch histories with storytelling. Deformed rocking horses, ambiguous figures, and shattered homes appear as unstable forms of care, or small disruptions to what is taken for granted.

She has exhibited at The Koppel Project, Modern Art Oxford, Gallery at Green & Stone, Southwark Park Galleries, West Bund Shanghai, The Alchemy Experiment Glasgow, and many other art venues across UK. Collections such as the Bodleian Library (Oxford) and Duo Yun Xuan Art Center (Shanghai) have acquired her works. Reviews and features including Tate Etc., FAD Magazine, Made in Shoreditch Mag, Artron.net, PeopleArt China, Sine Theta Mag, and collaboration with The Courtauldian, etc., while the Royal College of Art (London) recently invited her as a guest lecturer.
