I think I have it, with an assist from brianjn.

Using his words, the alphametics are

BRAG + THIS = GOGO

BRAG - THIS = STAR

The solution to these alphametics is

5789 + 3402 = 9191

5789 - 3402 = 2387

Where

0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 =

I O S T H B ? R A G

Which makes the title "THIS IS NO BIG ART"

I think Ady calls this a 4-dimensional puzzle, and I can see why!
