Morphology
up-and-coming + artist
The meaning 'becoming prominent or likely to achieve success' is partially inferable from 'up' (rising/increasing) + 'coming' (approaching), so a B1 learner who knows the constituents can often guess the sense. However, the phrase is a lexicalized adjective with a metaphorical extension and a specific evaluative nuance ('promising' or 'rising') that is not fully predictable without some exposure, so it is not fully transparent.
Etymology
Up-and-coming artist is like a picture of an artist who is moving up and soon coming into view in the art world. So, it means 'likely to become successful'.
