Can I use "He's a fine industrial artist" instead of "He's an industrial fine artist"?

No, we cannot say "fine industrial artist." The word "fine" actually describes what kind of artist he is. A "fine artist" is an artist that creates sculptures, paintings, etc. using different kinds of media. If you say "a fine industrial artist" the meaning now changes. It now means that he is a "high quality artist." Even though he is definitely a great artist, this is not what "industrial fine artist" means.
