Ali Gallefoss (b. 1989, Bergen) holds a degree in Furniture and Spatial Design from Bergen Academy of Fine Art and Design (2018) and the Oslo Academy of the Arts (2022).

Ali Gallefoss’ sculptures explore the interplay between human artistic expression, chance, and intuitive influence. Each of Gallefoss’ artworks oozes its own narrative, influenced by the conditions underlying the creative act, giving shape to a unique body of work. In response to man's excessive need to shape and control the environment, Gallefoss produces unpolished sculptures, where man-made “errors” are adding to the final result.

Gallefoss early established himself as one of Norway's foremost designers and performing craftsmen, and has collaborated with well-known Norwegian designers such as Holzweiler and Snøhetta. In 2019, Gallefoss created a sculpture of superfluous scarves and cuts from the stone industry for the Norwegian clothing brand Holzweiler, which was later installed at Dover Street Market in Beijing. In 2020, he was selected to exhibit as part of Norwegian Presence 2020 at Salon Satelite in Milan. The same year he also won Bo Bedre's design award as the year's newcomer.

Gallefoss is acquired by Equinor Art Programme.
