Velvet Buzzsaw: Ending Explained

Street Art

And we come to the actual end of the film with a street vendor selling on Dease's work, presumably salvaged from the car crash that took Bryson's life. Hanging it up on a fence and selling pictures for $5 a pop, whether the cycle continues on with the vendor at the heart of a new supernatural horror story is somewhat open to interpretation since he is making money off Dease's work - they key difference is, however, that greed isn't what's ruling his sales.

Instead of trying to build upon Dease's legacy and manipulate it for profit, the street vendor doesn't know who he is, doesn't stick a ludicrous price tag on the paintings, and has no pretension or expectations about what he's doing. He simply found a box of art and is displaying it on the side of the road for people to enjoy and take home if they so desire, giving him a small amount of money to survive on.

We see a final shot of a painted sunset with two young children - symbolic of the end of Dease's reign of terror and him with his sister in a happier, alternate reality. Either that, or the orange glow is the pained figures basking in flames, like the fire that killed his family. The first option is much nicer though.
