Morphology
The meaning is directly compositional: 'striptease' denotes a show of gradual clothing removal and 'artist' denotes a performer or creative practitioner, so together they yield 'a performer who does striptease.' This follows a common noun+agent pattern (practitioner of X) that is cross-linguistically common, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents can readily infer the meaning.
Etymology
Striptease artist comes from old stage shows where a performer would slowly strip ('to remove clothes') and tease ('to excite the audience'). That's why it means 'a performer who slowly undresses to entertain'.
