Būna tapybos darbų, kurie apstulbina savo ryškiomis spalvomis, pritrenkia, tačiau antrąsyk į juos žiūrint nublanksta. Dailininko Žygimanto Augustino darbai – iš tų, kurie „prisijaukinami“. Jie vis kitaip atsiskleidžia esant skirtingam apšvietimui, o ilgai į juos žiūrint paveikslo erdvė ima vis labiau įtraukti ir pasijunti gyvenantis paveiksle

... which take/need/demand/require time to be fully appreciated
Žygimantas Augustinas' works are among those that take/need/demand/require time to be fully appreciated.
Example sentence:
...they carry thought-provoking, conscience-pricking and powerful messages. They <b>require considerable time to be fully appreciated</b> and comprise a fine body of work indeed.

which cheer you up
I would say fall in love with is overstating it. Since they have bright colours, I would tentatively go with cheer up as opposed to make you feel comfortable/right at home, which latter seems to be counter-indicated by the changes seen by changing the lighting.
